Chotto Matte

Finding this restaurant could prove a little tricky, given that it’s down an alley and their white door blends into the wall. Plus, their sign is in clear Plexiglas against a white wall but rest assured, it’s a search worth taking. Chotto Matte is as visually stunning for the eyes as for the palate. The tree that’s the centerpiece of the restaurant, along with the open kitchen where the colorful cuisine is created and the bar where food as well as cocktails are created, are a huge wow factor (along with the skylight!) Happy Hour is available daily at the bar and lounge from 4-7 p.m., and includes Sapporo beer ($4), Bacardi Cuatro ($6) and Pisco Sour ($6) and snacks like shishito peppers, shrimp spring roll, Nikkei calamari and yucca and sweet potato chips for $4-$8 .
