Mr. Tuna opened in East Bayside in 2017 under chef Jordan Rubin and Marisa Lewiecki, built around a specific focus on local Atlantic bluefin tuna. The kitchen uses super-freezing and careful aging techniques to keep a steady supply of local bluefin available for most of the year, a technical approach the Gulf of Maine Research Institute has highlighted for solving a supply problem that trips up others.
The menu includes a dedicated Toro Menu alongside a gluten-free option. Regulars point to the hand rolls and fusion-leaning sushi as standouts, alongside desserts that get their own mentions, and service that holds up even at premium prices. Mr. Tuna shares ownership with sister restaurant Ladyfish.
