Den Description:
Named for the lively after-work pubs in Japan that dole out both saké and sustenance, Izakaya Den is a simultaneously comfortable and beautiful Japanese food spot. It parades a rollicking sushi bar, an upstairs lounge, a spacious bar and a serene patio bedecked with botanicals and bamboo accents. Unlike its Sushi Den sibling, however, which coincidentally sits directly across the street, Izakaya is not all about the raw stuff. Yes, you can slide up to the sushi bar to witness the slicing and dicing of tuna, salmon and snapper, but the globally enterprising menu (along with a lengthy daily special roster) is a whirlwind around-the-world ticket strutting a slew of sharable dishes. Try the hand roll sampler, a three-pronged combination of spicy tuna, crab and beef that's a do-it-yourself wrap and roll affair, or the roasted halibut, dusted with saffron and paired with white asparagus, akatosaka (seaweed) and a yellow tomato gazpacho. The number of bottled bubblies poured here---ten to be exact---is longer than some restaurants' wine lists, and the saké selection, including wooden box saké and several high-end options, is impressive.
