Nakama is by far my very favorite restaurant.   The atmosphere is inviting, trendy in the bar area, and a little more subdued in the hibachi dining section of the restaurant.  The chefs are both skilled and entertaining.  It is truly a unique experience every time I go to the restaurant as I have always been treated to a savory meal and a creative show with food and fire on the side.  The bartenders always create a delicious accompaniment to the food.  I highly recommend the citrus martini with a touch of heavenly sugar on the rim of the glass.  So grab a special friend and head for the South Side.  Nakama is the place to be.
Pros:  Too many to list.
Cons:  Sometimes tough to get in on a Saturday without a reservation.
