Pure Sushi typifies what a high-end sushi place should be...a mix of a simple, casually-upscale atmosphere (including a terrific patio area), lounge music that sets the mood without drowning out conversation, good service and, of course, excellent sushi (and other menu items). It's definitely on the high-end of the price spectrum, and sure you could get sushi as good for half the price elsewhere, but it's not your weekly sushi place...you come here for the vibe. Pure is a great choice for a date or nice night out with friends or family. I'm thrilled to have this place in my neighborhood and hope it sees continued success (they must be doing something right, if they opened a second location in Old Town).
