Dined at Sushi|Bar (next to Scratch Bar and same owners) in Encino for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. There is a speakeasy style entrance from within Scratch Bar that takes you inside the small sushi bar. It was divine and complete with pieces of slate with our names on them. And the mixologist made amazing cocktails and poured wonderful sake with our food and drink pairing. I drove all the way to Encino to dine at Sushi|Bar, and it was well worth the drive. I give Sushi|Bar 5/5 stars.
