Michelin Guide-Listed Sushi Restaurant Robin Opens at Springline in Menlo Park | Eater SF

"Opening September 20 at Springline, this menu-less, chef-guided omakase outpost from the team behind the Michelin Guide–listed Robin in Hayes Valley aims to make omakase more approachable; dinner is served Wednesday–Sunday from 5–9:30 p.m., reservations are available via Resy, and the bespoke dinner is offered on a sliding scale of $109–$189. Chef Adam Tortosa, partners Michael Huffman and Lloyd Sacks, and head sushi chef Kentaro Ikuta occupy a stunning Lundberg Design dining room with roughly 50 seats plus a private dining space, a full liquor license (including a Suntory highball machine) and a sake-and-wine list that favors Bay Area producers such as Sequoia and Den while also offering grower Champagne and old-world whites. The ever-changing omakase will still include signature items ported from San Francisco — Mt. Lassen steelhead with yellow peach and Half Moon Bay wasabi; saltwater-stored Japanese uni crowned with white sturgeon caviar from Sacramento; hirame kombujime (California halibut cured in kombu) with coconut and kabosu verjus, jicama, and smoked pineapple; toro tartare with morel-reduced soy; and sesame noodles dressed in a Japanese “chimichurri” with black truffle — and the space features custom ceramics by Nicole Pilar and Asato Ikeda, a mural by Caroline Lizarraga, and art from Ferris Plock, Michelle Morby, and Stan Zienka, all within a dark, modern, moody vibe." - Lauren Saria
