When it comes to finding fresh seafood, sushi is usually a solid choice. But James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole's restaurant, Uchi, offers much more than nigiri and sashimi, though they have that here, too. Expect also to see a lineup of inventive small plates that include standouts such as hirame usuzukuri (thinly sliced raw flounder with candied quinoa) and the machi cure, composed of smoked yellowtail, yucca chips and marcona almonds. If raw fish isn't your jam, then you can delve into cooked items like diver scallop hot rock and grilled seabass with leeks and coconut. Don't even think about skipping the fried milk for dessert.
