"One star. Chefs Niki Nakayama’s and Carole Iida-Nakayama’s Palms restaurant, which serves a traditional Japanese kaiseki experience using California ingredients, lost one of its two stars. A recent redesign by Minoru Oyamatsu of Oyamatsu Design Studio and builder Beau Laughlin of Framework brings new touches to the space like a tobi-ishi-style walking path and handmade walnut furniture." - Eater Staff
