PABU Boston

This Downtown Crossing spot—courtesy of the celeb chef Michael Mina—is an elegant spot for impressive, izakaya-style Japanese cuisine, but the high-end sushi menu alone is worth a date-night visit. The sashimi and nigiri list includes more exotic options like horse mackerel, cuttlefish, bigeye tuna, and wagyu beef. Rolls feature the same fresh fish delicately assembled with burdock, kanpyo, ikura, and other quality ingredients. Enjoy the artistry with inventive cocktails.
