Fodor's Expert Review Sens

Ostensibly a Japanese restaurant, Sens includes some surprisingly good sushi on its menu, but it gets into a bit of everything and does an excellent job of it. The starters are some of the best choices on the menu, and you could easily make a meal of them, matched with some of the excellent drinks from the bar. Go for the trio of cebiches, each with a different flavor, the salmon carpaccio, or the crumbed mozzarella with pesto and confit tomatoes, and you're off to a good start. The outdoor patio setting is gorgeous, particularly at night, with little loungelike alcoves around a wooden decked pool. The staff is extremely attentive, and although the bill will be steep, you'll walk away with a smile.
