Welcome to Osushi, now you know where the trendy and hip get their raw fish fix in Beantown. With this Back Bay staple and a new Financial District location, Bostonians will be eating their sushi in style for years to come. With both a local fascination and an international repeat clientele, this 41- seat, quaint and timeless restaurant is a popular staple that keeps on reinventing itself. The philosophy is simple: Osushi's commitment to authentic Japanese cuisine is its secret. You will NOT find "fusion" sushi here, but the menu offers unmatched creativity, and guests will admire the "raw" sophistication of the pallet of a culture which has enjoyed the art of sushi for millennia. Many combinations are too filling for lunchtime. Consider sharing the delicious Godzilla maki, a double-layered roll of yellowtail and vegetables that's a meal in itself.

Some menu favorites include the Bouchee burger with foie gras, mussles in white wine sauce with cherry tomatoes, or any of the flatbread pizzas. If you manage to have room left for dessert, there's tarte tartin, creme brulee, and other French treats. Outdoor dining is also available in season.
