Silvers Omakase

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior of Silvers Omakase, opening Tuesday: the former Seven Bar & Kitchen space in the Funk Zone has been converted to a plush jewel box, the better to spotlight the cooking of chef Lennon Silvers Lee. A sense of theater is embedded throughout, starting at the entrance, where there’s a discreet sign, opaque windows, and a doorbell you have to push for entry. Act one takes place in a sitting room with art rotating in from the Greens’ collection. Once all of the patrons have arrived, the group is ushered into the main chamber, where a row of 10 seats face the chefs and a mountain mural by Kelly Claus, with artworks by Joan Rosenberg-Dent on either side.

The two-hour dining experience ($185, plus beverages, tax, and gratuity) is designed to offer Lee and his team maximum flexibility, with anywhere from 13 to 20 courses, depending on what’s available and in season.
