"Capacity: 6-20 Nisei’s impressive Japanese tasting menu is matched by an elegant dining room, complete with artistic murals, dark gray walls, white banquettes, and velvet accents. The stately style continues in the private Kimono Room, which can seat 8-20. Booking out the entire Russian Hill restaurant is another way to show your friends you can step it up, as is hosting a cocktail reception in their intimate Bar Iris next door. " - lani conway
