I came here once on a first date and have been hooked on the food ever since. That first night, we ordered the Sushi Lover for two that came with a wide variety of sushi and rolls as well as Miso soup. That was my first time trying out such a variety of sashimi style sushi, so it was really nice to have so many different types of pieces at the same time. You get two six-piece rolls and two pieces of 8 different types of sushi so you and your dining partner can each have a taste of everything.
As far as the atmosphere is concerned, this place has always been very quiet and the service has been pretty great. It was a good choice for a first date (we didn't have to strain to hear each other as we talked). The food does, however, take some time to prepare so if you are ravenous and in dire need of food ASAP, I wouldn't come here since you'll be waiting a while for the sushi.
It is a bit more expensive than I'm used to, so I've resorted to using the Restaurant.com gift certificates; you can get $25 certificates for meals of more than $35 on there pretty cheaply. Buy them at the beginning of the month since they seem to sell out on Restaurant.com and all that is left are the $10 off ones for lunch.
I don't eat much in one sitting, so I tend to get one of the combo meals that has the teriyaki chicken. That way I can eat the sushi and Miso soup at the restaurant, but can take the chicken home and reheat it; it reheats very well.
Love the homemade, low-sodium soy sauce!
