Strong Safety

Nothing was incredible. Nothing was unique or brilliant or groundbreaking. But everything—from the room and its layout to the staff to the menu, the service, even the bar (unique only in that it didn't offer a list of custom cocktails)—was so rigorously and deliberately smooth and solidly plotted that I couldn't escape the feeling that every step Keff has taken in her career, every moment in every kitchen and dining room, every restaurant she's opened, and every menu she's ever written for anyone have all led here, to this perfect expression of What the People Want.

Flying Fish is as egoless an operation as I have ever seen. And therefore it is the ultimate Safety Restaurant.
