No. 64: Pabu

There's great potential for this good-looking Harbor East restaurant, adjacent to the new Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore. Officially a collaboration between Michael Mina and Ken Tominaga, the chef and owner of a Japanese restaurant in Sonoma County, Calif., it’s talented executive chef Jonah Kim who's shining in this modern take on the Japanese izakaya.
