Shiso

Frommer's Review

Named for a Japanese mint leaf that's referenced throughout the restaurant, this modern, airy spot is the place to come for sushi and Japanese cuisine with Americanized flair. Grab a table or sit at the sushi bar and go directly to the fresh, seasonal shared plates -- miso-glazed butterfish with Chinese long beans and miso emulsion, or braised beef short ribs with glazed daikon and carrots. The specials menu changes nightly and features exotic spins on the freshest local finds (think skate with sautéed stinging nettles and uni -- sea urchin -- cream sauce). You'll find good sushi here, too, from traditional nigiri, sashimi, and rolls (tuna, negi hama, California) to creative combinations. Though the food is tasty, it's the little touches, such as coffee served in French press pots and luscious desserts, that makes this place a real standout.
