After a well-received pop-up hosted by Chef Kwan from Issho Ni in Willoughby, The Last Page restaurant (100 Park Ave., 216) 465-1008) at Pinecrest has decided to extend the engagement.

“We wanted to activate the front bar at The Last Page in a new and different way,” says owner Todd Leebow. “We then made the decision to convert it to a full-time nigiri bar.”

The front bar in the “green room” has been converted to a dedicated sushi bar, where chefs Kwan and Davis Lee will prepare and serve traditional Japanese-style nigiri sushi. That sushi can be enjoyed in the lounge-like setting of the front bar and in the main dining room.

“The Nigiri Bar” offerings will “resemble the simplicity of what you would find on a busy street corner in Tokyo, with the highest quality of fish being sourced.” The sushi chefs will utilize traditional Japanese techniques gleaned from prior experiences in Los Angeles.

Guests will have a choice between three different sushi “experiences.” The Nigiri Experience ($48) includes bluefin tuna, Shinshu salmon and hamachi; the Dry Aged Bluefin Experience ($88) offers bluefin tuna, chutoro and otoro; and an Omakase Experience ($72) features an ever-changing selection of three fish. Each selection will include six pieces of fish and is intended to be shared as a first course. A la carte sushi will also be available with the purchase of an experience.

The sushi service kicks off on Wednesday, March 12th and will be available during dinner Wednesdays through Sundays.
