"As part of a collaborative menu with iconic Hawaiian-based chef Roy Yamaguchi, a long-tail red snapper (called onaga by Yamaguchi) was served with a beautiful golden-brown crust over a tangy yuzu miso beurre blanc. Pops of salty salmon roe, finger lime, and fresh chives provided contrast, while a lineup of heirloom beets and fennel rounded out the soft, comforting flavors. Yamaguchi, once steward of a vast empire of Hawaiian-inflected restaurants, was in good spirits in the dining room — a reminder that old-school principles and quality ingredients still yield tasty results." - Janna Karel
