I had a chance to walk over to Gari, the new sushi fusion restaurant on Harvard Street. I had been imagining something wild because of the description of them as fusion but from what I could tell the food on the menu was mainly just another japanese restaurant. I ate a lunch there which was the sushi lunch special and it was $9 before tax and tip so it was really $11. That was fine and the food was great. I just wish they would do something crazy like put jalapeno peppers and plum sauce onto the sushi somewhere in the menu and highlight some wicked saki drinks.

Their main advantage for me is that they are around the corner so it is a very short walk so they will start to get the business I had been giving to Jae's. They have a liquor license so they can't compete with Tsunami as a BYOB place where you can get good value for your liquor dollar.

It is a good replacement from the Greek place for me. We almost never wanted Greek food while it was there. I remember seeing someone load a dead lamb with the head on into the back of the greek place. I am not opposed to lamb but that is how I'll remember the place. I also remember thinking that the whole family, father, daughter, and mother worked there and that the daughter seemed to want to branch out.
