"Diners will feel like they’ve won a special omakase lottery when they walk into the dramatic spot hidden behind unpresuming Koa Poke. Meaning “wow” in Portuguese, those privy to the 16- to 18-course experience featuring high-end tuna cuts, caviar, and uni paired with truffle, quail eggs, and gold dust will find themselves in awe as items are smoked, seared, and artfully displayed by executive chef Sebastian Labno and his team, all of whom come together to make sure every need (or whim) is met. The recently added nigiri night (Tuesday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m.) is kinder on the wallet ($185 vs. $375 per person) and features a 16-course night of sushi’s greatest hits like King salmon belly and dry-aged Japanese Bluefin tuna. There’s a top-notch selection of wine, sake, and cocktails, including an Old-Fashioned made Japanese whisky that is one for the books." - Alona Martinez
