Rule No. 1 when opening a restaurant: Give potential diners clear directions as to where it is.

Let us save you some trouble. Obba Sushi is tucked inside the lobby of the Brickell Harbour Condo. Not that the menu, which was dropped off at my office, tells you that. If it had, it probably would have saved 30 minutes of my life.

I'll spare you the details, but safe to say, I was hoping when I finally got there that the food would be worth the trouble of getting lost. And I'm happy to say it was.

The name of the place is misleading, too. Obba doesn't carry just sushi, though there's a ton to choose from, including a real tongue tickler: the yuzu hamachi (yellowtail) roll, packed with fried shallots and and garlicky ponzu (citrus) oil.

Obba also has crispy, tasty mixed salads with seared tuna, fresh crab and calamari; tartares and teriyaki bowls (choose fried or brown rice, chicken, beef or salmon), all perfect for light eaters.

The lobster tempura was phenomenal -- the first time I had tried the crustacean served that way, but not the last. And definitely worth the trip: the scallops served with wasabi mayo butter. Oh my stars.

Obba, you're forgiven.

• DRINK: Sake is always a good call.

• WATCH: The Blair Witch Project, the best -- and most chilling -- movie about getting lost I've ever seen.
