    Japanese

    A 20-seat walnut counter is the whole point here, and you sit at it watching Mario Payán and two itamae chefs work through a single omakase menu rooted in traditional Japanese technique. The nigiri course alone, fish aged in ways you won't see explained on any menu, makes the format feel inevitable rather than rigid. There's also a whisky club leaning on Macallan and Suntory, which pairs neatly with the general mood of considered restraint.

    One honor, in evidence:
