The Sushi Place (Third Street, downtown)

[rdj]

Speaking of sushi, isn't In The Raw opening a location at the top floor of the Petroleum Club building at 6th & Boulder?  They would likely be open late.

The last I heard they were opening a location in the Philcade with banquet space available in the Petroleum Club building.  I believe the banquet space is somewhat dependent on the Petroleum Club moving to First Place Tower.

For a restaurant to be successful with hours expanded beyond lunch they must have catering &/or banquet space.

Spaghetti Warehouse is a crap-hole, but they have a large banquet space and as a result are successful.

Back to the Sushi Place, posted hours are

They open at 10 or 11am Monday-Saturday (sorry, forgot the specific time).

Close at 8:30 p.m. Monday-Friday
Close at 3pm Saturday.
Closed all day Sunday.

I wish them luck. I saw they've been putting their menus all over cars downtown.

Great, we can add this to the column of open after 5 places. What is the name of "The Sushi Place" on third besides "The Sushi Place on third".

That's the name on the awning, The Sushi Place.

My wife refused to eat there the other night simply because of the lame name. If that's all the effort and creativity they can put into the name, what kind of effort are they going to put into the sushi?

They have some interesting offerings on the menu:

Round Ones
Ones with Fish on top
Square Ones
Green Ones
White Ones

You also MUST try "The Soup"

I'm a fan of Boulder Grill.  Stays open late, the food is good, and the patio on 7th is really nice.

They are my favorite hotel restaurant and it's kinda interesting how they aren't local, but not some national chain either.

That's crazy white boy talk.  You no likey Chalkboard?

Chalkboard is awesome! They did a grilled endive salad the other day that was about the best thing I've ever eaten!

What kind of creativity are you looking for?  The best sushi I have ever had came at a place whose name was merely the last name of the owner.  I like the plain and simple approach in nameing.  No question as to what they serve. 

I will stop in this week and test it out.

According to Google Translate the name would be phonetically pronounced "Sushi pureisu".  (寿司プレイス)

So you could call it that if you wish.
