The Best BYOBs For Date Night - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"There’s quick takeout sushi you eat standing over the sink, and then there are high-quality omakase meals that can ensure you’ll get a second date. Sakana is the latter. The BYOB sushi spot in Headhouse Square is the perfect place to bring that bottle of sake to pair with the excellent omakase ($178 per person for 20 courses). There are flowers along the chef’s counter and walls, the atmosphere isn’t chatty enough to wash out the trading of your hopes and dreams, and watching exceptional fish get sliced in front of you serves as a great conversation starter. All the raw fish is stellar, whether you’re eating Japanese scallop, toro topped with caviar, or sweet shrimp with gold leaves." - candis mclean, alison kessler
