What People Are Saying About Shiro Restaurant

In Short – Cozy fireplaces lend an air of comfort to this mansion-turned-restaurant, and a truly magnificent center stairway leads upstairs, where former bedrooms have been transformed into intimate dining spaces.The menu features Japanese and French fare, with a twist (steamed wasabi flavored dumplings; foie gras with raspberry demi-glace and fresh berries over wilted greens). For a quick lunch or after-work bite, settle in at the well appointed sushi and sashimi bar. The sake list is also extensive.
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- When it's cold outside request a table beside the fireplace. Come summer, dine on the outside patio under towering shade trees.
- The Extras:
- Check out the cool tile and retro fixtures in the downstairs unisex bathroom tucked out of the way under the grand stairway in the front foyer.
- Know Before You Go:
- Bring along some friends and sit on the floor, Japanese style, in the lower level. For added fun, a karaoke machine is available for sake-soaked sing-alongs

BEST SUSHI EVER
by shayyhl at Citysearch
I became addicted to Shiro a few months ago. I go at least twice a week and each time I try something different. I have yet to have anything that wasn't AWESOME. Great people, excellent atmosphere and service. I saw that some gave this place a bad review? Running out of water? Really? Never happened to me. Always clean, professional and DELICIOUS! It's a MUST GO if you love sushi and/or sashimi. You won't regret it!
- Pros: There isn't a better sushi restaurant anywhere
- Cons: None

Best meal we've had in years!
by reneegetsmail at Citysearch
My husband and I have deemed Shiro an "Oh my GOD!" restaurant. We live less than 2 miles from Shiro yet we'd never been there until they appeared on restaurant.c*m (great website - the owner is smart to participate!) We had calamari, the "Dynamite-Must Try" appetizer, (can't say r**k) of lamb, and black sesame seed seared tuna. Best calamari we've ever had, and we ALWAYS order calamari everywhere! It would take pages for me to describe how great everything was!
- Pros: Incredible food, superb service
- Cons: Can't think of anything

I love it
by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch
I have had sushi all over the world and this food makes the top 3. The wine is good but the bartender (Marsha) and Jennie along with the rest of the staff will make any evening enjoyable. I insist on taking all my business guests here as I know they will find something they will love.

Amazing restaurant
by rick2245 at Citysearch
Me and a couple of my friends went there for dinner. A really attractive receptionist showed us around the house. (Which is rumored to be haunted), and we sat in a nice corner downstairs. The food was amazing. The sushi rolls were unlike any other japanese restaurants, and even the miso soup was flavorful. We had alright service, the waiter was pretty slow and several times we ran out of water. But the amazing food made up for it. I'll tell you one thing, I am definitely going back...again.
- Pros: good
- Cons: Ok service
