January 23, 2014

Be-Ju is an exceptional sushi spot opens within Tom Schaudel's Jewel Restaraunt in Melville. It is as serene and pristine as Jewel is buoyant and brassy. It arrives in creamy hues and deep earth tones, seating about 20, plus seven in the sushi bar's glistening chairs. This restaurant-within-a-restaurant undoubtedly offers some of the best uncooked fish on Long Island.
