Steel

One word YUM!

If you are looking for a super creative menu, Steel probably isn't what you are looking for.  However, if you want fabulously fresh rolls and a great atmosphere - Steel definitely is.

I came in on Friday night and the restaurant was surprisingly full even though from the exterior it looks rather unsuspecting.  We were greeted by a decent enough waitress and made were ready to order in no time given that everything looked so delicious.

We started with the crab and mango spring rolls which were incredible.  All of the ingredients were so fresh and there was a small sprig of mint inside the rolls, making for a pleasant surprise.

Next up - SUSHI! We went with the Hawaiian roll, the Ahi Tower and the OMG roll.  All were equally delicious and made us wish we had bigger stomachs that could handle more.  

I have eaten A LOT of sushi in town and its safe to say that this is the freshest and most thoughtfully prepared in town.  It really isn't that much more expensive than your other sushi spots and even if it was, it is well worth the price.  Need a better incentive to come in?  Every week, Monday - Friday they have select rolls for only $4 between 5pm and 7pm

Visited steel at 5:30pm....  We were the only three customers in the place...  They told us we had to sit in the bar area with our five year old if we want to order off the happy hour menu...  Funny thing is my daughter and I have eaten there five other times, not in the bar, with no trouble...  FYI steel, the most expensive seat in a restaurant is an empty one.  I use to be a regular customer, now I'm not a customer at all...  We went right down the street and spent our money !!!

Near-perfect execution on a rather slow Saturday night.  Service was exceptional.  Food was really solid.  Cold, fresh sashimi and flavorful rolls.  Wine list was very nice.
