When you arrive, you’ll be taken in by the breathtaking Japanese architecture and spectacular views. You can choose to sit alone with your date, but I highly recommend requesting to be seated at one of the numerous Hibachi tables, where you’ll be dazzled and entertained by one of Mt. Fuji Restaurant’s brilliant chefs. You’ll be seated around a table with similarly situated strangers, which could make for a very interesting and fun evening.

Have a few drinks with dinner, keeping in mind that you’ll have to navigate that steep, twisting mountain again to take your date home. I tell you from experience, it’s easy to over-indulge in such a fun atmosphere, and I nearly crashed my car down the mountainside – twice. So, designate a driver or limit yourself to two or three drinks.

Mt. Fuji Restaurant offers a number of dishes from their renowned sushi bar, including Sashami, Tatsuta-Age, Kushi-Yaki Beef, Shumai, Gyoza, Kani, Tempura Medley, and Edamame. Or try their Miso Soup, Japanese Onion Soup and variety of Japanese salads.

But let’s get right down to why you chose Mt.Fuji Restaurant for your first date – the flaming presentation of Hibachi artistry. Your chef will have you laughing the entire evening as he prepares your meal in front of you on a Hibachi grill. You’ll select two of the following sizzling entrees: Banzai Chicken, Samurai Steak, Sukiyaki Steak, Mt. Fuji Filet Mignon, Hibachi Shrimp, Hibachi Lobster, Hibachi Scallops, Sakura Salmon, and Mt Fuji Fantasy, an exquisite ocean medley of succulent lobster tail, savory scallops and jumbo shrimp.

May I be so bold as to suggest the Filet Mignon with Lobster?

For dessert, try the Mt. Fuji Sundae, the Mt. Fuji Iceball, Ogura Ice Cream, or the Chocolate Mousee Cake.

The prices at Mt. Fuji Restaurant are very reasonable considering the atmosphere, the quality of the food and the entertainment your master chef is sure to provide throughout your dinner. All said, your first date should cost you no more than two hundred dollars (much of that may be alcohol), including tips for chef, coat check, and valets.

The Mt. Fuji Restaurant first date dining experience is magical and like no other. Mt. Fuji also does wedding banquets and a Murder Mystery Show. Ask about them while you’re there.

And please, keeping that mountain in mind, take it easy on the Saki.
