It's hard to know how well two things can work together until you actually see them, like your parents. Hahahaha. Just kidding, of course, that was supposed to read "peanut butter and chocolate". Bummer about that soul-crushing divorce. Proving sushi n' crafted cocktails're just like your 'rents PB&C, Rocketfish.

Helmed by a former Blowfish sushi master n' sake-mmelier, RF's self-proclaimed Japanese tapistro (tapas + bistro = sure, why not...) that marries tempura and sushi goodness with an inventive cocktail-slingin' full bar that goes well beyond the typical sake and beer options; the place is decked out with massive streetside windows, alligator pleather booths and an actual wall-hung, "rocketfish" made of metal (are you reading this, Mr. Eat Everything?). Grub ranges from sushi bar staples (sashimi, spicy tuna/dragon rolls, etc.) to hot entrees (tiger prawns with Jin aioli, diced tempura mozzarella, seared tenderloin with honey tar tar and spicy mango), wrapping up with cool gelato flavors like cinnamon and bay leaf, but not Michael Bay leaf, because that would explode 400 times, cost 200 million dollars, and still not be that good. Specialty handcrafted libations include the 88 (gin, maraschino, lemon, grapefruit, and thyme), the Houndstooth (bourbon, chartreuse, lemon, and agave), and the Green Ghost -- a cucumber vodka martini with lime, mint, and an extreme, unexplained loyalty to Dan Aykroyd in the sequel.

If you prefer more standard sushi-booze pairings, the bar also stocks 16 sakes, 16 vinos, and 16 brews, which, like your parents, actually work well together in small doses. Wait...no? Not even on your 30th? Awww....
