Giesha House Description:
At the Dolce Group's Geisha House, the Hollywood club scene meets Tokyo's Ginza District to create a seriously hip venue, with some serious cuisine at least a small part of the mix. The space hosts a lively 50-foot bar and saké lounge, a more sedate sushi bar and a bustling dining room draped with a huge photo mural of the Tokyo skyline backlit with neon. A towering red column stacked with fireplaces reaches skyward toward a mezzanine level and an upstairs bar with a retractable roof. While the scene, drawing a young, cool crowd and occasional celebrity, seems to takes precedence, food is---or can be---an important part of the experience. A sommelier will help you choose a pricy bottle of saké while you ponder a long list of traditional sushi items and contemporary rolls. Cold starters include the uni shooter and kanpachi serrano. There's also tempura---lobster or miso-glazed rock shrimp---with various sauces; robata-yaki (grilled skewers of meats, vegetables or seafood); and entrées such as grilled Kobe rib-eye steak, a trio of Mongolian lamb chops, Alaskan king crab with yuzu-citrus butter and black cod. Western-style desserts like molten chocolate cake and hazelnut praline soufflés round out an experience a world apart from your serene neighborhood sushi bar.
