"Michael Collantes’ 30-seat sake lounge may sit next to his restaurant Soseki, but it offers a decidedly less formal experience than his high-end omakase house. Small plates fashioned by Mike Vang are several notches above traditional bar fare, with such dishes as tuna au poivre, tamago salad, tilefish and chips, and corn-pea dumplings setting the stage for the stellar sake selection by Benjamin Coutts." - Faiyaz Kara
