RAVE - Ozumo

Second sushi of the week, and I'm not a fish fan.

We slid in here around 10pm last night for the "snack" that Pavey needed.

"Slide in" is probably the perfect description of how one enters Ozumo, with its smooth and comfortable vibe - elegant diners matching perfectly with the decor, smooth music, and great, mostly counter-height seating in the front lounge area. There are more formal tables in the middle and back sections of this larger-than-it-looks-from-the-street restaurant, but we sat at the bar where we could see the Sumo channel and enjoy our cocktails and sushi.

The menu is more classical Japanese than alternatives like Blowfish or Tsunami, but just as good (especially the Hamachi).

People-watching is an especially worthwhile pastime here, as the neighborhood's cluster of restaurants (Boulevard, Chaya, One Market, Prospect, Americano, Ozumo, and more) draws in a wide range of interesting characters, as well as guaranteeing easy parking with the shared valet service.
