Shimbashi Izakaya Re-Review (Del Mar): Meh....

Since Grandma is here we got a few dates in this week (she just wants alone time with Super Toddler - we would have stayed in!).

Revisit to Shimbashi Izakaya. Was very excited. But it was a disappointing return.

Food: Good but not as good as last time. Very expensive - and not a lot of food. It would be one thing if it was spectacular...but it was not.

Drink: Sake Mojito was very bland (like soda water + lime), gave me no buzz I could tell. (was there really alcohol in it?).

Service: Ok, but then they tried to screw around with our check. The normally mellow dining companion known as Cute Husband was, shall we say, not pleased.

An unimpressive showing after a meal that was good but not great = probably not returning. Too bad = it's a nice view and the salad is still fresh and quite tasty (but not missable anyway).
