"After leaving their old space in Decatur, dropping “izakaya” from the name, and picking up a totally different fancy-pants identity in Buckhead Village, Brush is all glown up. And it’s become a go-to for an impressive first date because the emerald green venue feels exclusive—like you had to pull strings to get a table. Your date doesn’t have to know it’s pretty easy to book the same day. The small menu of excellent sushi and entrees helps curtail indecision if lots of choices normally overwhelm you. Plus, we’ll make it even easier—get the delicious citrus salmon maki rolls or the jalapeno yellowtail with crispy fried leeks." - juli horsford, nina reeder
