The granite walls and blond-wood furniture at this upscale destination all evoke understated Japanese-style luxury. Though celebrated for sushi, the menu extends far beyond snow crab and avocado. For more innovative choices and better values, look to the Chef Original Dishes or those made on the robata grill. Hirame-hime (halibut and scallop carpaccio) and futago (beef tenderloin and eggplant with miso-sesame sauce) taste nearly as stunning as they look. Eat at the sushi bar and enjoy the live DJ spinning tunes. You can ask your server to recommend a sake tasting from their wide selection. Stick to cold sake to truly appreciate the flavors.
