Ra

We decided to eat at some trendy sushi place while we were in Florida. My Sainted wife loves Sushi. Curmudgeons lean towards food that has actually been cooked. 

We settled on a place named Ra, which she assured me was an  "Asian Fusion" restaurant, apparently affording me some opportunity to find cooked entrees. Turns out the food was quite good - the rest of the experience, however, was bizarre. 

Because Ra seemed to prefer an opaque black curtain between the kitchen and the diners rather than the usual swinging door with a window, the servers had to shout IN! and OUT! to warn potential servers approaching from the other side as they entered/exited the kitchen. Think about this. All the waiters constantly going in and out of the kitchen all night shouting one of those words. Maddening. 

Then they played some sort of Tapas trick when serving us. Although all five of us ordered at the same time, the food came out randomly. Ra committed the unforgivable sin of making a curmudgeon wait for his food long after everyone else's dishes were nearly half consumed. They might as well have had a sign on the menu: "we reserve the right to serve lily-livered raw fish dodgers at our leisure." 

30-odd years of dining out and never have I encountered meals that show up when they feel like it, not when they should.
