"You want some red meat, but you’re not equipped to handle the awkward silence that comes between you and the server when he folds your friend’s napkin every time she goes to the bathroom. Instead, cook your own marinated wagyu on a sizzling hot rock at Tamari Bar, a chill izakaya with great small plates and cocktails. While we like everything here, the main attraction is always practicing the perfect sear just in case we ever become Iron Chefs. Take advantage of the garlic chips and lemon wedge on the side." - Aimee Rizzo
