| - Sasa is one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland, so of course we were excited to try Accent. Though both Japanese-inspired, these are very different beasts. I am happy to report that my wife and I (with friends) had a great first experience at Accent.
The atmosphere is fantastic. Elegant, upscale (but not pretentious), just a bit cozy. The place has a sleek modern look, but is still comfortable. I love the booths. It can hold a large number of people without being overly loud--not sure how they do that.
I ordered the whole snapper entree, and I loved it. It was simply prepared: The entire fish is served on a large plate, with some vegetables, potatoes, and a bit of sauce just to the side. I was simple, fresh and delicious. I also really liked the pickled vegetables included on the side. Add some sake to the meal and I was in heaven.
My wife had a steak, and while she said it was delicious, it wasn't particularly different from a very good steak elsewhere. Appetizers, especially the yakitori, were great. Get the pork belly.
We'll be back.
