This colorful fusion-mad cafe buzzes with the owners’ quirky sensibility—witness the cocktail menu with choices such as the Full Metal Yellowjacket. The sushi may not seem as adventurous as the rest of the menu, but selections such as a crunchy lobster roll, red-snapper sashimi, and a seaweed salad laden with baby octopus are fresh and carefully prepared.
