From the OpenTable editors: Kumiko is a worldwide leader in cocktails—it even has a spot on The World's 50 Best Bars list—for its innovative drinks and deep sake list from acclaimed bartender Julia Momosé. The seasonal, Japanese-influenced menu can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, like with a playful Wagyūkatsu sando or an omakase-style tasting experience, all crafted to complement creative cocktails like a sherry tonic with celery and sparkling pear cider in the intimate, inviting space.
