Best Place to Have a Melodramatic Conversation Over Dinner 

Matsu Japanese Restaurant

It begins just as you're about to sink your teeth into some raw eel: It's that slow, steady crescendo known as "Chariots of Fire." Played several times through the course of any meal at Matsu, the song lends a sense of triumphant boldness to even the most mundane utterances. Consider the phrase "I've got to balance my checkbook." On its own, this sentence conveys a sense of empty obligation. Set to "Chariots of Fire," it sounds determined, confident, brave. Just imagine what this soundtrack could do for a conversation that holds actual significance. It's a great way to add that heartfelt, convincing touch to your argument just before the check arrives with chilled Hershey's Kisses and sliced oranges.
