Mid-range priced sushi joint with nice atmosphere

by JacquelineFusaro , Citysearch Contributor

I'm used to small, on-the-run sushi places but this one surprised me for a nicer sit-down restaurant. The buddha waterfalls and dark amber red lighting made for an intimate setting. The sushi and appetizers were great as well as the martinis. The look of the place is what really drew us in. I would definitely recommend this for a date night.

  • Pros: Negimaki, sushi

Great Ambiance, Very Accomodating

by bronwenelly

So I was looking for a place to have my friend's 22nd birthday party. I tried to make a reservation at Tonic East which is two blocks from here, but they don't take reservations there. So we tried Amber and it was fantastic. They gave me the private room on the third floor to hang out.. which was perfect because more people arrived than we anticipated.

Everyone in the restaurant was eager to accomodate us and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I'm no foodie, but I would say it's like a less pretentious Tao or Buddakan but in my neighborhood, and a lot cheaper.
