We were recomended to go dine at Sono by few of NC locals, and was it a experience of my life. When we walked in place seems like semi up-scale sushi place to dine. Hostess knew what she was doing and we were expecting to have "good sushi" this NC friends were talking about. My wife and I ordered some rolls and sashimi waitress recomended. And guess what we got...we got large rolls like you see in supermarket or buffet. We diden't even try to bite into one then sashimi arrived and it got even worse. All the sashimi was cut with grain and it looked like dull things on a garnished plate. Come on NC people start learn about good sushi..!! Why is such a nice looking place like Sono have 3rd rated sushi is somethig that i can't understand and all the people who wrote great reviews should try gooood sushi up Philly or NY. I ve been to few place in NC and there are few that is whole lot better.
Pros: looks like nice place
Cons: all the thing they call sushi, maki and sashimi

although it was slighty expensive, that's kind of what i was expecting for the location. all the food was great and fresh, and the sashimi sampler had much better stuff on it that i thought it would. definitely worth a visit for a classy night out, but i'm not sure why all these people are complaining about the valet parking when there are about a MILLION parking garages all around this area that are free if you leave after 7pm.
Pros: good fish
Cons: nothing really i guess
