It kicks off with a date night option to a new intimate sushi and omakase experience inside Hotel Lincoln.
Sushi by Bou opened on Friday, January 21st.
The speakeasy is a restaurant where the choice of sushi is up to the chef.
There’s a 30-minute option which includes 12 pieces for $50 per person or a 60-minute option with 17 pieces for $100.
The menu consists of fresh fish from the area and from around the world including Hamachi (yellowtail); Botan Ebi (spotted prawn); Ikura (salmon roe); Hotate (scallop); O-Toror (fatty tuna); Unagi (bbq eel); and their signature Wagyuni (‘surf and turf’).
