Head chef Paul Greening experiments with fermentation and locally sourced produce to create delectable Japanese cuisine. A central sushi bar and open suminiyaki charcoal grill pairs with sleek black and red decor to make a seriously sexy restaurant. Start with diver scallop and Cornish crab rolls with a yuzanna bellini as you mull over the menu. Small plates of wagyu with ponzu pearls and soft shell crab with lime pepper sauce are both delicious, while Iberico pork with Japanese peach is pick of the grills. Always save room for the smoked chocolate delice.
