    Went for Omakase here and loved it! I have now been 3 or 4 times and never been disappointed. Let me say upfront, this is not a cheap night out, but well worth it.

By dinnertime, just choosing a restaurant is enough to cause meltdown, let alone deciding what to eat. Here's some help. Go to Shira Nui. Sit at the sushi counter. Order the omakase, which means chef Hiro Nishikura will dip into his impressive sushi repertoire to feed you. All he requires is that you tell him when you're full. The path to fullness includes standard sushi assemblies of raw, sliced fish on bricks of vinegared rice, except there's nothing average about, say, a perfect parallelogram of John Dory, seasoned with lemon juice and salt, then placed before you with a reverent gleam and the quiet command: "No soy sauce." The enjoyment is manifold: there's excitement at the ritualistic commencement of a jou...
