Uni

Uni, located in Boston's historic Back Bay, is unlike any other seafood restaurant you've ever visited. Entering into the dining room here is like stepping into a different Boston than you thought you knew. It's darker, sexier, and more wonderful. Since its 2016 renovation, Uni has earned accolades from Boston's toughest critics and customers. The diners here appreciate good, out-of-the-ordinary food.

Executive Chef David Bazirgan combines traditional Japanese sushi and izakaya restaurant traditions with a creative dose of cosmopolitan global inspirations. You can start with the Uni Spoon, a slice of raw sea urchin topped with quail egg yolk and osetra caviar that is meant to be swallowed in a single bite. It's one of the city's most luxurious and instantly recognizable appetizers. The staff here orchestrates a well-paced, beautifully portioned meal. Tell them which rolls and mains you have your eye on, and they'll help course it out for a balanced experience.
