After many years of using Citysearch, I'm posting my first review... b/c of this restaurant. My husband and I just moved to the area and were looking for good, local sushi. Based on the other positive reviews, we decided to try Sushi at the Lake. We ordered endamame, salads, and sushi. Though the endamame were woefully overcooked, the rest of the meal was quite good. We eat a lot of sushi and found the sushi quality to be good, and the salads (seaweed & cucumber) were very good. The prices were moderate for sushi - by no means a great price, but also not overly expensive.
However, and I say this with strong emphasis, the atmosphere (previously described as "young" or "casual" - and we're both, by the way) was unpleasant and not at all what we would have been looking for... we very nearly left b/c of it. Sure, this is a personal preference thing... but it was blaringly loud, there were sports-filled televisions everywhere. I left with a splitting headache, and I don't mind a little music. It had the atmosphere of an extremely loud sports bar, where they happened to serve Japanese food. It was unpleasant enough for us that we definitely will *not* be going back, despite the good food. However if you like this kind of scene, Sushi on the Lake may just be your cup of tv- and noise-filled green tea.
Pros: Food
Cons: Atmosphere
