So, i had dinner at this out of town sushi bar and everything from the fish, presentation (beautiful presentation), atmosphere, service, etc. was good to great. However, the rice fell short and to me, the rice can make or break nigiri and rolls. The waitress and young chef asked me how the food was and I wanted to respond that the rice was under seasoned and overcooked. However, i did not. Because there weren't any abject failures, i just answered that it was okay with some contrived enthusiasm.
To me, there is a time/place for such honesty and i didn't think this was one of them. What would you do?
