Sen

A precise, quietly confident Japanese kitchen where char and citrus do the heavy lifting.

Sen keeps its dining room dim and its plating exact, letting the smoke from the robata grill do most of the talking. The miso black cod arrives lacquered and falling apart at the touch of a chopstick, while the sake list rewards anyone willing to ask the somm a question or two. Come for a slow two-hour dinner, not a quick bite before the ferry line.

Best for: Date nights and quiet celebrations away from the Main Street crowds
