Desperate to fit in the higher echelons of European society, paranoid the rest of us look at them as little more than noveau riche, third world, 'new' Europeans. Resent relying on the tourist dollar so the staff make sure they're unnecessarily, almost comically rude. Obnoxious staff, shitty sushi and a clientelle of lower rung footballer's wives types. Best avoided until they get their act together. Go somewhere that doesn't see it as a chore to take your money. Wouldn't have happened when the Russians were in charge!

However, on a visit this month we had an entirely different experience. I took a photo of my girlfriend and a waitress quickly came over quite aggressively to tell me that photographs were not allowed. I challenged her as to why, the wind was removed from her sails and she seemed embarrassed, explaining the owner doesn't like it. I asked if I could speak to him but he refused. Altogether the service was poor, the staff rude, the tempura soggy and the sushi below the standard of prepacked supermarket fare. Best avoided. Don't bring your camera!
