"Ogawa's pricing (around $280-ish once you tab on an apricot highball or two) includes excellent and friendly service, suede towels to warm your hands, and consistently excellent sushi. The sleek Old City spot has a mix of straightforward cuts—think Spanish mackerel or Australian lobster topped with dry soy sauce or lemon—and more creative dishes, like Japanese firefly squid with white ponzu sauce and rice cracker balls. You may find similar quality for less elsewhere but not the same atmosphere—including one of our favorite cocktail bars upstairs—that makes you feel like a VIP. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - candis mclean, alison kessler
