Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Okane's beverage program is a study in contrasts: a rooftop with cocktails and tacos, an omakase room with a curated wine list, and a Sweet Spot for matcha and fruit teas. The wine list is the most concrete asset, featuring eight selections from Italy, Germany, New Zealand, and California, priced from $11 to $16 by the glass. Cocktails earn praise for balance, while the nonalcoholic corner remains a tempting but underdocumented option.
- What should I order?
- Start with a glass of Selbach Riesling or Te Mana Sauvignon Blanc if you're on the omakase path. The La Morandina Moscato d'Asti offers a sweet finish. On the rooftop, a cocktail is the move, though specific names aren't documented. For a nonalcoholic pause, the premium matcha at the Sweet Spot fits.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine-focused diners will appreciate the concise, region-spanning list. Omakase guests seeking a structured pairing will find suitable whites and reds. Rooftop patrons looking for a casual cocktail with a view will be satisfied. The Sweet Spot's matcha and fruit teas appeal to those avoiding alcohol.
- When should I go?
- Evenings on the rooftop for cocktails, especially when the weather cooperates. The omakase experience, with its wine pairings, suits a special dinner. The Sweet Spot could be an afternoon stop for matcha and dessert.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wines by the glass run $11 to $16; bottles range from $40 to $61. Cocktail prices aren't documented, but one reviewer noted the alcohol portions were amazing for the price.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Three distinct beverage venues under one roof: a rooftop bar, an omakase counter with a curated wine list, and a Sweet Spot for nonalcoholic Japanese-inspired drinks and desserts. The wine list is notably international, with picks from Italy, Germany, New Zealand, and California, priced reasonably for the setting.

How it sits with the food
