Izakaya (Midtown)

Izakaya in Midtown is a modern gastropub take on the traditional Japanese izakaya, built by the Azuma Group (also behind Kata Robata and Soma Sushi). Ramen, dumplings, and street food share equal billing with a serious drinks program of cocktails, sake, and whisky. A weekday happy hour and bento-and-ramen lunch menu round out a spot meant for both quick bites and lingering drinks.
