A loungey setting and artfully arranged blooms give the place a chic, sophisticated feel. Sake samplers—half price during happy hour Monday through Saturday—are fun to share, or you can go for a bottle from the many boutique-sake choices. Nibble on morsels including the Seafood Firecracker with spicy sauce, seared white tuna, or grilled scallops with avocado and eel sauce. For more substantial fare, try such well-done fusion plates as Chilean sea bass with watercress, grilled black cod with miso, and roast pork with soy-sake sauce. There’s regular sushi and sashimi, too.
