Inakaya

Putting an upmarket spin on the robatayaki (open-hearth) cooking beloved by Japanese fishermen, Inakaya serves succulent grilled seafood, meat and vegetables in a vibrant setting. Much of the fun is in the presentation: diners sit at a counter facing directly onto the open kitchen, and receive their food and drinks on wooden paddles that the staff pass directly over the grills. Broiled food aside, the menu also includes sashimi and a variety of stews, none of them cheap.
