We stopped in at Akari yesterday for a quick bite before heading off to see Joan Baez at the Bardavon. (What a great show, but I did notice that all of the other aging hippies are looking older) The dining room at Akari is tiny but comfortable, but we were lucky to find two seats at the three seat sushi bar. Sitting at the bar is always my preference; I like to talk to the sushi chef and watch the preparation.
We were immediately offered an appetizer of razor thin slices of Spanish mackerel, which set the tone for a wonderful dinner. My combo platter ($20) included a cup of steaming hot savory miso soup, and a tossed salad of sliced iceberg lettuce. While we worked our way through the opening course, I watched as the sushi chef prepared an artfully presented dish of salmon roe roll, salmon sushi and sashimi, yellow fin tuna, sole, yellow tail and a “white tuna”.
PS Akari does not have a liquor license, but they are fine if you BYOB.
