Despite fierce competition from sibling Uchiko, Tyson Cole’s first restaurant remains the standard for sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese-inspired fare, blending traditional and modern techniques to perfection. Artful presentations, exotic flavors, excellent service, and lovely surroundings make for a special evening. Be sure to make a reservation to avoid a long wait. – Claudia Alarcón
