The Venue

An El Paseo dinner restaurant serving sushi and sashimi alongside sake, Japanese whiskey, and cocktails.

Dinner is served indoors and on the patio. Reservations are recommended, particularly when the group needs a specific time or has a seating preference; use the official booking link rather than relying on a walk-in table.

Why it made the guide
