"In a city where the names Uchi and Uchiko have become synonymous with date nights, anniversaries, and special occasions, Uchiba manages to offer a slightly more casual, izakaya-ish alternative in a midcentury-inspired dining room. Expect to find a combination of Uchi/Uchiko classics, plus a bunch of small plates exclusive to this location. Show up for fancy cocktails and sushi after work, or dress up a little and make dinner out of it, starting with a few “perfect pairs”—a small menu of tiny apps paired with tiny cocktails." - nicolai mccrary
