Generally, when most people think of buffets, images of austere white spaces, bright fluorescent lights, and stainless steel bain-maries with plastic sneeze-guards come to mind.
The interior at Santo's Modern American Buffet & Sushi is a stark contrast to the average all-you-can-eat establishment-- walls covered with natural stone facade, sleek black tables, smooth white chairs, granite countertops, and, dig it -- a sake bar!

Another departure from the standard buffet is the bar. Santo's offers beer, wine, and sake. According to owner Johnny You, "We wanted to do a big sake bar, so people could get to know sake from this place." For $6 diners can order a sake tasting, which includes 3 flights.

Clean Plate Charlie caught up with You to ask about the diverse offerings. "It's my background. I'm from New York. I've worked in all different kinds of restaurants--French, Latin, catering. I'm usually the only Chinese guy" he says.
