I work right in the area so convenience/laziness brings me here pretty often. To be fair, the food is average, perhaps overpriced, although the atmosphere makes up for some of it. Try to get a table upstairs (the booths against the wall are most comfortable and the 'beach wall' makes for a nice gazing experience). The service is good most of the time, but it can get extremely busy during the corporate lunch hour. As for the food, I've had my hits and misses. Most of the entrees are nothing special with the sea bass as the exception. What stands out: the sesame flat bread they give before the meal, the spicy tuna sashimi in cucumber cups (don't think these are on the menu, but they do make them), and white chocolate/pear sorbet. Overall, this place caters to the Western palate and for more authentic sushi, I'd head down one block to Sushi of Gari on 46th.
