Starfish - Atlanta, Ga

So we're spending the weekend in Atlanta and my coworker strongly recommended we dine at a restaurant called Holeman and Finch. He told me it wasn't fancy so we head out there, relatively casually dressed, and not only is there over an hour wait to be seated, the place was packed with business people in business suits.

We of course decided to leave, having spotted a nice sushi place next door. Starfish was not busy at all, but looked really promising, especially since everyone we saw there looked Japanese (always a good sign at a Japanese restaurant). All the specialty rolls were named after movies, which was pretty funny. Examples include: Avatar, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jurassic Park, Sin City, 40 Year Old Virgin, Toy Story, etc.

We ordered (since the titles are obviously not descriptive, I'll include descriptions here):

• Starfish Roll [it's our policy to always order whichever roll is named after the restaurant itself] - baked California roll topped with cream cheese, salmon, and special sauce
• Four Brothers Roll - deep fried lobster, avocado, cucmber, masago, crab stick, special sauce
• Kingdom of Heaven Roll - spicy tuna topped with cream cheese, masago, unagi, avocado
• Monster in Law Roll - deep fried soft shell crab, avocado, cucmber, masago
• Alaskan Roll [not a specialty roll so it didn't get a fancy name] - salmon, cream cheese, avocado, crab stick

You may notice what looks like an obvious oversight here, but NO, Crunchy Roll was not on the menu. We were deeply saddened by this seeing as how everything they do at Starfish they seem to do really well.

All five rolls were unquestioningly delicious. Often enough the problem with a lot of sushi places, as with below average blow jobs, is that they are boring and bland. This was absolutely not the case at Starfish.

He loved the Monster in Law the most; I personally loved the Kingdom of Heaven. It was a tad spicy, just enough to be perfect. Our only regret was their lack of Crunchy Rolls because surely they would have been outstanding.
