Cues

Sit at the counter facing the kitchen to watch the meticulous preparation — it's half the experience. The sake pairing adds significantly to the bill but transforms the meal, particularly with the seasonal sashimi course.

Insider Cue

Japanese concept with a focus on precision over theatre. The omakase menu is the way to experience it properly. Small venue — book ahead, particularly at weekends.

Insider Cue

Description

The omakase counter here pulls fresh fish daily and the chef isn't shy about calling out what's actually worth eating that day—skip the à la carte if they're pushing the seasonal special. Marina views are solid, but book a seat at the counter if you want to actually understand what you're eating rather than just watching boats float by.
