Inspired by the central hearth of Japanese farmhouses, Uchiko combines quality and artistry with
handcrafted natural, worn materials. Guests to this
Post Oak restaurant proceed through a timberlatticed entry and are greeted beneath customdesigned, eroded cast concrete light shades. Wall
coverings created from original artworks accent
the space with shades of blue, and murals draw
the color up through the ceiling, which was carved
away to expose the double-height space at the
entry and mezzanine. Reclaimed walnut noors are
layered with white oak and cedar furnishings and
brick and clay tiling. Brass and bronze features add
luxurious detailing alongside leather upholstered
banquettes. The dining room is punctuated with
a large private dining area and chef 9s table featuring a large, blue fringe light oxture, and the front
dining area is anchored by a lush patio and bar.
