Nimblefish offers an intimate a la carte counter, providing an excellent dining experience with truly exceptional fish prepared with craftsmanship. The art of real sushi is on display, and reservations are often recommended due to the limited seating, especially for the omakase. The omakase is praised for its quality and value, featuring standout dishes like fatty and fresh toro and refreshing yuzu sorbet. Guests consistently love the intimate setting, where they can sit at the bar and watch the chefs at work.
The chef is recognized as a master of his art, and the ambiance is described as industrial minimal, with a long wooden counter and about a dozen seats. The quality of the ingredients is emphasized, with fish sourced from Japan and some local elements, although the prices may be on the higher side. The variety of fresh, not frozen fish is feasible primarily because the restaurant is small and can cater to those looking for a Japanese experience, with dishes like the elegantly refined Kohada. Guests highlight the good sake selection and nice gins for a gin and tonic. The emphasis is on the variety, freshness, and minimalist style of presentation, making Nimblefish a top choice for a special night out or celebration.
