Yes, not very good food that we ordered, and really bad service for $35 for Lunch for 2 with NO drinks.
Nihon's bento plate was not anything incredibly special but their service was always great and the waitresses were anything but pretentious. We always counted on a certain quality all the time.
When we went to another place recently that just everyone raved about, we tried to review it honestly here.
I am sad because for the view, the price of lunch for 2 will double and we'll miss the pleasant service, and well the food .... HBC has no bento plate. Now - the fish place right down the st is great for takeout and we'll probably have a picnic in front of the Old Nihon Bldg instead. Ahi poke and a iced tea $8, - lunch with a view of the bay? Priceless!!
