New + Noted: The Flying Squirrel

Local singing duo Jack and Rai have turned restaurant owners. But alas, they won’t be performing here any time soon. "We wanted to keep this place strictly for food," says Jack’s wife, who co-owns the place. The small but stylish 27-seater serves grub tinged with Japanese influences, whipped up by an ex-Mikuni chef. There’s Truffle Ebi Fry ($15 for five pieces) and Uni Shooters ($16) for light bites, and Wagyu Udon Soup ($30) for mains.
