Restaurant Takashi
Prices
Average main course: $22.
Description
Vetted chef Takashi Yagihashi has transformed the former Scylla space into a Zen den showcasing food that deftly combines his Japanese heritage with French training and American ingredients. Flavors are subtle and balanced; presentations are delicate and often beautiful. Seasonal dishes are fleeting, but mainstays include outstanding yellowtail kampachi with monkfish foie, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly steamed buns and an expertly roasted chicken with shemeji mushrooms and eggplant. Yagihashi has a fitting counterpart in pastry chef Cathy Miller (formerly at Shikago), who pairs toasted-almond financiers with goat-cheese cream and thyme-vanilla ice cream for dessert.
