Watch Out For Holiday Upcharge

by Lou38 at Citysearch

Mikado has always been one of my favorite places for Sushi. Service is great, food is always delicious. I was a regular customer until today. I was surprised to learn that Mikado will not offer a lunch menu on a holiday, instead requiring you to order from the much more expensive dinner menu. It is not just your mainstream holidays (Easter, 4th of July, etc.) they include Presidents Day, Valentine's Day, MLK Day, Labor Day, etc. While the Sushi is great I am unwilling to pay dinner prices just because it is Flag Day. The only "Holiday" I might consider paying dinner prices at lunch would be April Fool's day.

Again the Sushi is delicious and great business lunch spot, but if it is a holiday (any and all holidays) bring your wallet because prices increase in celebration of the holiday. I guess Mikado will celebrate more than most due to the increased holiday revenue.

Dont make reservations there!

If you have a large party Mikado will not accommodate you. We tried to book a party of 15 three days in advanced and they initially agreed but then kept calling us trying to get us to change our time. They would go back and forth with the reservation time and they not very accommodating. There are too many other restaurants in Austin that appreciate our business and we are very disappointed with their customer service. They just lost 15 patrons!

If you have a large party GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
