EVERYONE’S A CRITIC
The fanciest restaurant to open here in a long time is Silvers Omakase in the Funk Zone, a 10-seat chef’s counter centered on sushi. It’s similar to Sushi by Scratch in many ways, and it will inevitably compete for the same clientele. So how does it stack up?

HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Romero Canyon sprawler for $7.1 million; Ennisbrook casita for just under $6 million; San Roque charmer; likely teardown on Coyote Road; Goleta renovation; 806-square-foot Mesa fixer for $2.1 million; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
