Sushi/Italian Restaurant Suggestion

[HardHitter]

I met this girl out this past weekend and we watched a movie and chilled at her place last night and we are going out to dinner this week. It is going to be her last meal before she goes and gets her wisdom teeth out sooo let's make it a good dinner.

She likes sushi or Italian so let's hear those suggestions. I was thinking Blowfish in Santana Row. I've eaten there a few times and have liked it. There is also Cherry Sushi on El Camino Real, but I think the atmosphere in Blowfish is better.

if you are trying to impress... eeeyah... blowfish is coo, but Chocolate sushi is the best and its decent priced.

Ive heard good things about michi sushi on winchester in campbell.

I like going to sushi factory branham and meridian because ive gone there for a while and they love me there.

For Italian, check out gorgios on foxworthy/cherry

[Tohsh]

Fuki Sushi in Palo Alto off of El Camino is pretty bomb.

No joke man... gotta get something before she's out of commission for a few days... haha just kidding...kinda... but yea although the sushi/food at Blowfish isn't that great, the atmosphere is a lot better than anywhere else where we can have drinks and dinner.

WTF Justin! I though you liked Long Deli Sandwiches which are made by me as well! Broke my heart![>_<]

That Italian place right across from Blow Fish is good too but pricey!

[a408]

chocolate sushi FTW!!

[HardHitter]

What Italian place across from Blowfish?

[doctor-g]

i am sushi chef at "narita" belmont.. i will make u guys something nice. and good price... " blow fish" is nice but food is low quality and way over priced,,, it is like u go into a Chinese place and order a 30 bucks chicken fried rice.
good luck anyways

What Italian place across from Blowfish?

Maggiano's Little Italy...located on the side of that square.

[skunkoncrunk]

Blowfish in Santana Row is great and so is Kamakura in Los Gatos.

[HardHitter]

Ah Maggiano's...blowfish is not even close to Maggiano haha but I know what you're talking about.

I think we are going to hit up Blowfish

[BlkdoutS4]

lets see some pics of this chick!

[will175]

That will be a good experience if Doc G will seat you in front of him and make stuff for you guys. Its always fun to know a sushi chef working. Just keep the Asahi coming for him,lol.

Yah and post pics!!lol. Good luck before she is out of commission. :-)

[jonnybravo]

Ewww....Blowfish sucks for sushi... Go to Tomi Sushi off Saratoga and Moorpark. Way good and very authentic.

[Vi3tBoY1029]

dude, i gotta see a picture lol. im sure we all want to see. im just getting to the point hahahaha [:D]

[washyourrhands]

by the bucket on the stevens creek is great italian food

[a408]

^ ya but its not classy. haha

[washyourrhands]

^ ya but its not classy. haha

how?
id say its pretty classy

have you been there before?

[a408]

yeah the food is amazing. and fairly priced. but its a little rugged and old fashion for me to take a girl out that i'm trying to impress.

id just go somewhere around santana row

[skunkoncrunk]

Yeah by the bucket isn't a very romantic setting lol.

Blowfish is a solid choice. [up]

[darren @ SW]

Sawa sushi is GREAT. Santana Row is OK for atmosphere, but ALLOT better food out there.
Sawa is supposed to have the best sashimi in the bay.

[tpliquid]

i went to blow fish once and i paid too much. If you really want to impress then go to olive garden and she will love you forever.

"Frankie Johnnie & Luigi Too" in Mountain View.

[Raacerx]

I don't like Blowfish much, but its a good place to impress a date; young hip atmosphere. However... any place that discourages loud sake bombs, is not my cup of tea. Sushi Totoro for the win!

Gonna have to look this place up.

I love Yuki Sushi (http://www.yelp.com/biz/yuki-sushi-santa-clara) Good eats at a decent price. Just down the street from Santana Row if you still want to go there after. Crunch Roll FTW!

[tpliquid]

goto ramen halu for bomb ass ramen.

"Frankie Johnnie & Luigi Too" in Mountain View.

if you've never tried it, TRY it. I recommend it. The one in MV is very "homely". Not an Olive Garden type of an environment [:D]. Anyways, for an awesome night, take her to Crustaceans in the city - it aint sushi, but will darn impress her.

[jstcalmebatman]

chocolate shushi on el camino

or

fontanas next to de anza college

[Menlo S4]

- Fuki Sushi in PA is great
- Carpaccio in Menlo Park, great food, low key but classy atmosphere
- Frankie's in MV is also good, easier on the wallet than these other 2
- Maggiano's is owned by Chili's, make your own judgment about that
- Billy Berk's in downtown SJ

Thanks guys, we are going to Blowfish but I'm going to have to check those other restaurants sooner or later. Yuki Sushi is bomb, I've eaten there multiple times. Portions are big too!

I know at Blowfish you're paying for the experience more than the food but it's a fun place. I'm expecting to drop $100...let's hope this girl is worth it.

I took my ex to Kamakura. It's like a quarter of the price of Blowfish, because like you said, you pay for the atmosphere. I would prefer going to Blowfish but I'm glad we didn't cause she wasn't worth it. [>_<]

[a408]

and she broke up with you because you were cheap ^^

haha

Ahahaha, yeah "that's it". I knew someone was gonna break down my post as me being "cheap". I'mma cut you Josh. [>_<]

[Anferny]

I hate throwin down $$$ when they ain't worth it.

[C4.Style]

..and that is why on the first date usually you take her to McD's..the key to worth/not, the classics![:D][:D]..if worth->next level !))
