    During the holiday rush, we were amazed at the personal touch given to each of us, even with our large party. The food was spectacular, and the new-to-us menu didn’t disappoint. Service was attentive and efficient, despite the busy season. We left impressed and eager to return!

    This was the second time that I brought my family of 5 for an early holiday dinner. Ambiance and service are great, food quality is good (veggie dishes are small and bland). Cocktails are overpriced and underfilled. Generally the non-veggie food items are high in quality but small in portion and overpriced (6 pieces of nigiri sushi for $39 not including tax/tip). We spent about $300 a year ago for a holiday meal and about the same this year. They "redesigned" their menu recently and we weren't impressed. We like the family-style ("sharing") approach, but many of the changes seem designed to increase the cost to the customer. The waiter (who was very good) was clearly trained to try to encourage us to spend more. Ordered a shot of sake and he encouraged me to buy a bottle, ordered nigiri sushi and he encouraged me to add fancy nigiri for $15 per piece, etc., etc. Lots of opportunities to encourage the consumer to spend more. They use the typical technique of mentioning the $200 tomahawk steak as a way of making the $100 on-menu steak seem more affordable. I ordered a $9 Kirin beer and was told it was a bottle would I like the off-menu Sapporo on tap (small serving for $12). Multiple managers around us with ipads, all of them likely measuring capacity and timing our meal to maximize profits. Every reservation comes with a 2 hour time limit (which is adequate for our family, but still seems like an anti-customer approach and I would guess it is selectively enforced depending on how much one spends). Beautiful restaurant and skilled staff, but I wouldn't go here again. After spending about $70/person we left still a bit hungry. We would have been more full had we ordered the steak, but even there the value is limited. A $100-200 fancy steak gets cut into pieces for the "sharing" approach, which means that each person gets just a strip or two of meat (as opposed to spending less per person for good quality steak at a steakhouse).

    I have been trying for a while to get a spot at the sushi bar. We finally got in and had a great experience, interacted with one of the many chefs, and were able to enjoy some great food with our college kids as they were home on break.

    Next Door by Wegmans is one of my very favorite local restaurants. The sea bass was amazing as well as the tenderloin skewers. The mango cheesecake for two was spectacular and very creative. I think what I liked best was the elimination of the oil candles which were replaced by LED lamps. I’m very sensitive to smells and it was so nice not having those there anymore. I will be back again soon!

    The service was stellar! Larger portions and/or more signature roll options would be customer improvements. The sushi is the best on the city!!!

    Friends and I get together for dinner and wine every few months and to celebrate special occasions. None of us had been to Next Door in years! But since my son Nick was recently hired as their GM, I was eager to give it a try. First of all, the service was phenomenal! Special thanks to our server Tanya, but all the staff were attentive, focused and really top notch. Secondly, the food - both quality and preparation - was fantastic! I am not a sushi lover, but our server said, "Trust me. I'll bring you out things to try that I know you'll like!" And she did. I recommend the tempura roll, another roll that had tuna on top and a California roll - all fabulous. In fact, the grade of tuna was so good that I didn't even know I was eating tuna. Plus we split a burger which of course, being a meat and potatoes girl, I enjoyed most. Lastly, the atmosphere was buzzing! What a fun way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you, Nick, and please thank your staff for a truly fun time. This is our new designated spot. Love, Mom
