This was our first time dining at Okura Robata Grill and Sushi Bar. The food was very good, but the service was terrible! I saw other people also complained about the service being very slow. I wish the service matched the excellent quality of the food! I will give the restaurant another try however, in hopes of better service!

During a recent visit to Okura Robata Grill and Sushi Bar in La Quinta, several aspects of the dining experience fell short of expectations. Reservation and Seating: Despite securing a reservation, there was an unexpected delay in being seated. The wait extended beyond the reserved time, suggesting potential overbooking or inadequate table management. Service: Once seated, the service felt hurried and lacked the anticipated attentiveness. Interactions with the staff were somewhat awkward, and there was a noticeable absence of the warm hospitality typically associated with such establishments. Bento Boxes: The bento boxes, a staple offering, were underwhelming. The presentation was basic, and the flavors did not stand out, lacking the freshness and vibrancy expected from a sushi restaurant of this caliber. Wine Pricing: The wine list featured selections that appeared significantly overpriced, especially considering the quality. This disparity between cost and value detracted from the overall dining experience. In summary, while Okura Robata Grill and Sushi Bar has garnered positive reviews for its ambiance and certain menu items, this particular experience highlighted areas in need of improvement, including reservation management, service quality, menu execution, and pricing strategies.

Didn’t know (nor was told) they had a back room which felt like a dungeon….had reservations yet they stuck us in a dark dingy old room. Horrible experience and not what we expected at all! We specifically went for the ambience and food. For the price of the food, should have a better experience.

Was in town for the holidays and took a friend here for a birthday dinner. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Had a 6:15 reservation and was seated pretty close to on time. Was happy they sat us near the sushi bar, as the noise level in the main dining area was very loud. As a sushi lover I will say the quality of the fish was excellent, very very fresh. Our server was busy as a bee but was very nice and attentive to us. We had ZERO complaints about the evening. Will definitely dine here again next time I'm back in town.
