Douzo

This 120-seat Japanese boÎte, which sits right next to Back Bay Station, offers a soaring, elegant dining room to match the delicacy of its Japanese cuisine. The brainchild of Jack Huang, a former partner in Fugakyu, Douzo offers "modern" dishes, which means the edamame get a twist with a squeeze of lime, and the thinly sliced moons of milky-colored scallops are served with spicy mayo and tobiko atop fried waffle-cut potatoes. As at many local sushi joints, you won't find many exotic options, but here, in season, you'll get vibrantly colored wild salmon — even if it lacks enough flavor for the price. Note:The restaurant closes between 3 and 4:30 p.m. daily. Dinner service ends at 11:30 p.m.; the bar remains open until 1 a.m.
