"This Japanese restaurant will solve all your date night dilemmas. With a sleek decor and a solid $175 omakase, the West Midtown spot impresses enough for an anniversary dinner. And their $12-and-under Happy Hour menu helps take the pressure off if it's just a first date. There’s also a covered rooftop patio that works well in all seasons when you want to hang out and slowly work your way down the menu from nigiri and small plates like toro tartare with ponzu to entrees like meaty scallops. Just make sure you get an order of the lightly smoked hamachi nigiri, which is a bold yet smooth and tasty mouthful." - juli horsford, nina reeder
