"Hinoki & The Bird is one of the more enticing restaurant options in a sea of terribly made salads. The space is dark like a villain's lair, and the menu is heavy on Japanese fusion (i.e., a wagyu burger slathered in tonkatsu sauce and pommes frites with furikake). Most nights, the place ends up filled with lawyers and agents schmoozing clients with three-figure bottles of wine or maybe just drinking cocktails to forget their workdays." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
