Osaka

Besides its legendary sushi, American favorites like filet mignon and lobster, tables for 20, and the "scorpion bowl" (with rum, vodka, pineapple juice and lime juice) add up to a festive atmosphere that makes this restaurant a perennial Best of the Valley winner. Red snapper, salmon, tuna, striped bass, scallop, crab, eel, flying fish roe: the list of sushi at Osaka is as encyclopedic as the Valley's appetite for the dish is insatiable.
