This restaurant can get you a promotion – or a second dateDear [Name],

Joanne has a business dinner. And she wants to impress.

But with limited cash and a dizzying number of restaurant options, she is confused.

Know the feeling? Maybe you have a long sought-after first date… a special “date night” with your husband…or an important business dinner that MUST go well.

An opportunity that you are eager to make a success.

Can the right restaurant do this for you? You bet.

Imagine you’ve settled the bill and you’re just walking out the door. Your date pulls you close whispering how impressed he is. Or your business prospect warmly thanks you and promises to call tomorrow to finalize the deal struck over dinner.

You smile to yourself knowing the evening has been a success…and that promotion could be on the horizon.

TONO SUSHI JAPANESE AND ASIAN CUISINE, located in the heart of Washington DC’s famous Woodley Park neighborhood, offers a little piece of Asia for those looking for the atmosphere to create success.

As you enter, you are greeted with a rousing welcome and mouthwatering aroma. The greeter escorts you to your table; however for a more authentic experience, why not try the tatami (bamboo) floor seating like they do it in Tokyo?

TONO specializes in sushi and sashimi, but also offers a wide selection of Japanese, Thai and Chinese fare. In fact it recently hired a Thai chef to assure their Thai offerings such as the new stir-fry entree are as authentic and yummy as the sushi.

And unlike most sushi restaurants, TONO’s delicious food won’t leave you with an empty pocketbook. The Washington Post gives it two dollar signs – their moderate to inexpensive level.

Listen to some recent Google reviews:

- Loved it! Delicious, large sushi, and awesome Thai! Great experience!-Absolutely delicious ! The sushi is awesome and waitresses/waiters are cool!!!!!;) Must eat sushi!-Honestly, I think it's some of the best sushi in DC, and at a reasonable price.

-If you know your Sushi and Sake. This is THE place

As you know, sushi usually refers to fish served on rice; but did you also know that the term “sushi” actually refers to the rice? It is special sticky rice that holds together as the sushi chef molds it. The Japanese have spent centuries perfecting sushi, and TONO hires sushi chefs who have studied with the best. They are not just chefs, but artists.

This will become obvious as your order arrives. The rich colors of the thick cut of fish…the deep green and “crunch” of the crisp nori (seaweed - some Japanese say nori makes their hair a beautiful black); and the delightful tanginess of the wasabe.

Sushi is also healthy:

-the Japanese have the world’s longest life expectancy in part due to eating fish-fish oils such as Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart and have been recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA)-the AHA suggests eating fish at least twice a week. -a study in Finland found that people who eat fish are 31% less likely to suffer from depression.

TONO also has a complete wine list including Japanese sake. Why not make the evening even more special by sampling some soothing, delicious sake?

Because I know how good TONO is, I’m offering a 100% refund if this dinner is not a complete success - and if you dine before March 15, I’ll throw in a free round of sake or a traditional dessert to put the icing on the cake.

Opportunity. Success.

This is what the dinner engagement is about. Grab the opportunity to offer a fun and memorable evening. You’ll quickly discover how thankful your companion will be, and how much success the right restaurant can create.

Oh, and our friend Joanne? She went to TONO. She got the promotion. Sincerely, [Name]
