Hub 51

Restaurant upstairs, club downstairs
1/2 off sushi before 6 pm. A girl friend and I tried 3 rolls, the miso glazed salmon, spicy crab and shrimp, and bbq eel. All tasted fine, but nothing great. I'd like to come back and try some other stuff on their menu besides the sushi, maybe that's just not their thing.

Very nice and classy restaurant with great service. Sub 51 opens up around 10 so it's a great dinner and dancing spot.

Hub 51 was about what I expected.  It's trendy, crowded, loud, but great food and drinks!  I typically go for a more low key dining experience but I came here with a couple girlfriends for a night out.  We had a reservation but still had to wait half hour for the table, no big deal seeing as it was Saturday night.  Luckily we were seated way in the back tucked away so it wasn't as crazy and loud as the main dining area.  

Everything I tasted that night was delicious including Five Alive cocktail, Tuna and Thai Basil roll, and the fish tacos with mahi mahi.  

I'm not sure I would return unless it was earlier in the day, it was a little too crazy in there for me!

Soooooo, we were a half hour late for our dinner reservation Friday night, so naturally they gave it away.  Understandably so, of course.  Lucky for us though, the wait after we arrived wasn't long.  

I want to start off with the service.  Our waitress was amazing.  She was very nice (like genuine nice) and helpful.  She was sole reason I'm giving Hub 51 a 3 star rating instead of 2 that it deserves based on the food.

The food was eh, meh, and whatev.  The chicken nachos that someone in a previous review raved about were the highlight of the meal.  However, they weren't that great.  The nachos were super soggy and hard to eat.  I've never had to cut a nacho with a knife and fork before that night.  The chicken was good though.  

For my main entree, I got the chicken enchilada stack which I turned into a deconstructed enchilada.  Not a fan at all.  The tortillas were really off, very soggy and gelatinous.  I took out the chicken and guacamole and ate that minus the tortillas.  The dish came with black beans (yum) and plain white rice (criminal, I know.)  Who uses white rice in a Mexican dish?! Not a good twist.  

I probably won't go back there because, although the bar side of Hub 51 looked cool, I'm not much of a drinker.  And the food definitely wouldn't bring me back.
