Restaurant owners are all the same when it comes to letting people go. I have nothing to prove to anyone, its okay, have a good one:) Samantha,

The service was pretty decent considering how fucking packed the place was. The only qualm I had was the oysters I ordered. Every oyster on the menu was around the $3 range. Of course they were completely out of every oyster on the menu. I ordered 6 of their choice to make it easier on the server.<br /> <br /> Each of the 6 oysters I had were shucked poorly and when the bill came!<br /> <br /> To my shock $4.95 an oyster. That is fucking criminal. I doubt I will ever return. $9 glasses of house pinot grigio seems a little shocking also. I'm guessing that Azia is probably one of the most expensive restaurants in the city and truly not worth it. Ate at Azia for dining out for life last Thursday.

Temple had the best Sushi I've ever tasted, and I've enjoyed sushi all over the world. After just moving here from NYC, I found Temple to be outstanding. <br /> <br /> Manager Ryan treated me and my friends like kings every time we went in. <br /> <br /> I think this is a big loss for the area.

To make a generalized statement such as, <br /> "This type of firing for no good reason happened anytime anyone questioned decisions or judgement." The manager was fired because he was messed up in more ways than one. Unless you own a restaurant and have been put in that stressful position, you should probably keep your mouth shut. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Jasbo,
