Teppanyaki with a modern twist

Teppanyaki brings a cosmopolitan twist to traditional Japanese cuisine. The dark timber communal table in front of the open kitchen adds to a sense of occasion together with the kimono-inspired dresses of the attentive staff and the superb wine list.

Open Tuesday to Friday - lunch and dinner

The restaurant's blokes dress in a more laissez-faire style: jeans and a black leather jacket, like a detective in an '80s cop show. The women, invariably young and lithe, are adorned with a geisha shtick that seems designed to appeal to the febrile imaginations of salarymen. This isn't Hooters, though; it's the second restaurant to open in the Ivy complex; others are pending. So why risk alienating a portion of your market, the city's professional businesswomen, with a cheap gimmick? My idea of good perve is ogling the ever-so-lightly seared snapper sashimi ($26). It's dressed in sesame and olive oils, which is sexy enough for me. The knife work is stunning, e...
