"A tasting-menu restaurant from a Top Chef alumnus that fuses Malian and Senegalese heritage with Japanese technique, offering seasonally changing plates such as Aubrac beef with tamarind and carrots (a riff on mafé), binchotan-grilled langoustine with a shrimpy dja sauce, and a signature dark chocolate tart paired with chocolate-wasabi mousse and a scoop of wasabi ice cream." - ByLindsey Tramuta
