"After 23 courses of nigiri, a few composed plates, drinks, and tip, you're looking at $280-ish per person at this Old City spot. That price includes excellent and friendly service, suede towels to warm your hands, and $25 apricot highballs (or the additional $65 sake pairing that comes with detailed placemats describing each). There's 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 that makes you feel like a VIP. " - candis mclean
