"Hive Hospitality will open a West Coast outlet of Jônt with a similar 20-plus course tasting menu that will incorporate California’s incredible produce, Japanese seafood, and the group’s trademark hospitality. Jônt, its flagship tasting menu restaurant, aims for the highest of accolades when it debuts in summer 2024. It will have its own choreographed experience, with welcome cocktails in one area before diners move to a main dining room for anywhere from 22 to 25 dishes starting with snacks. Desserts will take place in a separate parlor, with optional drinks and cigars on the patio." - Matthew Kang
