It's not a "real" sushi place, but I like Amber (around 70th on Columbus) quite a bit. The back room is pretty cool and they have a great green tea margarita. I think it's a bit more trendy than most sushi places which always strike me as very boring inside. That said I've been married for 10 years, so maybe my idea of a good date place is way off-base:)

I've been to that one once, and to the UES one a couple of times (all times with my husband of 14 or so years - we're never sure these days). The dining room is quite trendy as you say, and they do have good cocktails, but for pure sushi experience, and decor, I still prefer Gari. One of the turn offs for me at Amber is the huge pieces of fish. I think we went when the place was just open for a couple of weeks, and the service was pretty spotty, but that may well have changed, of course. Amber is one of those places that I go to where the bill always ends up being far more than I think it should be.

I think Gari is a prettier room than that at Neo, not too bright, and I think the sushi is far better, particularly given the prices at Neo. When I've been to that Gari, it's been quiet and a bit dark. I haven't been to the Haru on the UWS, but not a huge fan of the one on the UES. Same w/ Tenzan, for what it's worth.
