content: My husband and I visited Ra for happy hour. Upon looking at their happy hour menu, I thought it looked great. Lots of food and drink variety for decent prices. \n\nThe blushing geisha cocktail was delicious and my husband enjoyed his Kirin. Unfortunately, the whole eating experience was underwhelming. \n\nThe Pacific Roll has potential. It tastes great, but it was very loosely rolled. Every bite fell apart either before we dipped it into the soy or in mid-dip. We had a lot of soy splashes on our table. \n\nThe asparagus salmon and spicy shrimp were both as bland as could be and chock full of minced stuff. Save the minced fish for off-brand fish sticks, people, please. We also ordered the seared tuna and the citrus yellowtail tapas. Both were just thin cut fillets of rawish fish with some foliage and sauce drizzle thrown on top. Meh.\n\nLastly, we sat on the patio, which is a back patio. It faces an alleyway rather than Mill Ave. And while it has a nice outdoor bar, it was chock full of smokers.  I'm a non-smoker so I'm biased on this point, yes, but who smokes while eating sushi? Also, there is no air circulation back there. Just patio and alleyway, so all the smoke just hangs.\n\nI will give props to our server. She was prompt, polite, and delivered our order speedily. The speedy part was great because with all that smoke, we were dying to get out of there.
