Very late on the evening of the opening of the Shrimp Festival and all the restaurants were…read moreclosing. Dined into Akari to grab something to eat. As busy as they were, we were seated very quickly and presented with a menu and placed a drink order. The menu was a mish mash of a variety of Asian food. That sent a "Red Flag" to me. Historically I have found that Asian restaurants in Jacksonsville who have these type of so called "Fusion" selection menus? Means they have no idea as to how the dishes are supposed to taste. So they do their version and 9 out of 10 times it is a disaster. And this was one of the 9 times. Had the Thai Basil beef? Stir fry with pieces of steak with the same flavor as my companions dish(something teriyaki). He ordered a sushi app and it came out with the same none sticky rice as my dish and was still warm? Sorry no photos, bottom line never again.

I opted to do Tapas and he ordered a salad that they added 7 shrimp to, which wasn't on the menu. My tapas was also shrimp done in a Mozambique style with coconut milk. Delicious! Also I had the cold octopus tapas which was spicy. It came with 4 spears of Belgian endive to use to scoop it up. I could have used at least 2 more because I ended up eating it straight and it was a bit spicy for me. Service was stellar and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. A solid choice for tapas!

However when we came in hostess gave us altitude that we brought a child. Maybe she should have read a reservation better. She kept telling us that we should put a child on a reservation (which we did), but anyways, there were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant, so not sure what a big deal was. Our server was pretty decent, he explained the menu and was relatively attentive. We ordered many different appetizers and a big seafood paella. I also had non alcoholic sangria which was great. Grilled calamari were amazing, we also loved the shrimp, salad and burrata. Seafood paella was amazing as well. Ambience is more traditional with older people mostly around. They also have extensive outdoor seating area. So everything was good except the hostess.

Unfortunately, this was a subpar experience for a restaurant that specializes in sushi. The hours…read moreposted on the door were inaccurate, and after being seated we were informed that the kitchen would be closing in five minutes. The food was underwhelming from the start. The edamame seemed as though it had been cooked earlier and simply reheated before being served. The sushi rolls appeared hastily assembled, and the avocado was overly mushy. The spicy tuna roll was unusual, consisting of plain tuna with sriracha drizzled on top rather than a traditional spicy tuna mixture. The California roll was generic and forgettable. The Philly roll was the best item we tried, but the smoked salmon tasted as though it may not have been at its freshest. Service was acceptable--nothing particularly bad, but nothing that stood out either. Overall, the experience did not live up to expectations, and there are better sushi options available for the price.

Unfortunately NOBODY came to take any order for almost 20 minutes and this was after we alerted the host. Overall the food was great, but the service was so bad. The server blamed it on the kitchen, but the place was not busy when we arrived and maybe the kitchen would not be backed up if the servers took care of their tables in a timely manner.

During our visit, a manager engaged in repeated personal interactions with my guest that felt outside the bounds of typical professional service. While I understand that friendliness is part of hospitality, the frequency and tone of these interactions became uncomfortable and detracted from the overall experience. After the visit, I brought this to the attention of the business directly in the hope that it would be acknowledged and addressed. Unfortunately, I did not receive a meaningful response or any indication that the concern was taken seriously. I'm sharing this here so others have a complete picture when deciding where to go, and so the business has another opportunity to reflect on how customer interactions are handled. With more attentive management and clearer boundaries for staff, this could be a much stronger experience.
