| - Tone is nestled near 4 other sushi places along Queen, so it has a lot of places to compete against. If you were choosing among them, this would be your date location. You won't get as much sushi as Aji Sai and the prices won't be as cheap as Xtra Sushi, but you will be in the nicest looking restaurant and the food quality is better.
The place is smaller and nicer looking than its neighbouring sushi restaurants. The sushi choices are about the same as most other restaurants, but there's less fusion or inventive rolls. Each platter comes really nicely done up with nice garnishing (carrot flower, etc.) The sushi itself is tasty enough considering the price and the rice is nicely flavoured.
The only real issue here is the service. While they will often seat you and see to your drinks and initial food order quickly, don't expect them to stop by too often after that. It seems that quality of service is randomized depending on how overwhelmed the server is feeling (which doesn't always seem to reflect how many patrons are actually in the restaurant).
I'd also like to give my opinion on their take out, but the two times I called, they didn't answer the phone. So while I would love to give them full stars, I would love to see their customer service improve a bit first. That isn't to say they are unfriendly, they just need more training.
All in all, this is a good date spot or a nice place to bring one or two friends. If you have a bigger group, head somewhere else.
