Nara-Ya
Mayor Bowser just announced DC restaurants will be able to return to full capacity starting Friday, May 21st. If you’re looking for a new restaurant check out Nara-ya; a high end Japanese restaurant that recently opened down at the Wharf.
I was impressed with the interior and attention to details. The cocktails were cute yet strong. The sushi was delicious but overall the food portion sizes left us wanting more for dinner. I’d definitely go back but just for drinks. For added ambiance with a water view, I suggest arriving right before sunset (7:30 pm-ish) and ask for a window table.
Nara-ya is located on the 3rd floor right next to La Vie. Since COVID restrictions are still in place be mindful that Nara-ya doesn’t offer takeout or outdoor dining. Book your reservation in advance!
