Miyabi Kyoto

HAYWOOD ROAD. Within this Japanese restaurant, the decor is full of exotic flourish, with trailing greenery, gilt-accented mirrors and polished surfaces. The chefs, too, are exuberant, as they prepare steak, chicken, shrimp and vegetables right before your eyes. Slicing, dicing and bantering, they sauté the food at large, communal tables and dish it out in steaming portions. Along with a crisp, dressed salad and cold sake, it makes for a substantial meal. Great for group dinners.
