Sorry, We are out of....

Last night, Will and I ventured to a new hibachi place for his birthday dinner. The guy turns 28 on Thursday. Man!

We went to a new place in Arlington, I will refer to it as Hibachi to protect the innocent. We had a little bit of trouble finding it because it was hidden away among the store fronts. We happened up on this place and went in. It was a tiny hibachi place with only four hibachi stove tables. We were greeted and seated at a table. The waitress came to take our order.

Waitress: What you drink?
Me: A glass of Chardonnay please.
Waitress: You?
Will: Water.

Waitress took the rest of the orders and slowly prepared the drinks.

The waitress comes back.

Waitress: Sorry, we out of Chardonnay.
Me: Ohhhh, that's fine. I'll just take a water.
Waitress: ok.

Waitress leaves and comes back to take our order:

Waitress: What you have?
Me: Sesame chicken with fried rice please.
Will: Number 14 with fried rice and a tuna roll.
Waitress: Ohhhh we out of sushi. (oddly points to the front of the restaurant) No sushi today.
Will: Oh ok, that's fine. Can I have double rice?
Waitress: Two orders of rice?
Will: Can I have double rice instead of vegetables?
Waitress: Uhh (confused) we no do that.
Will: oook. That's fine, I'll just take the vegetables.

Waitress continues the orders and leaves.

We joke under our breaths about the lack of food in this establishment. Maybe next they will come back and say, "Sorry, we out of rice." No wine, no sushi...what kind of place is this!?

I look to the front of the restaurant and see a lonely fish in a tank separating the eating area from the waiting area. I jokingly say, "Ha, That's why they were out of sushi. They only have one fish."

Then it hit both of us. Will said, "Surely she didn't mean that, but she did point to the front like she was implying something."  Hmmmm.

I guess we will never know.
