"Opulence is the name of the game at Makiin, an Upper Kirby restaurant that comes from the same team behind Kin Dee. Every inch of Makiin feels glamorous—we’re pretty sure we elevated a tax bracket just by looking at the decorations. Appetizer samplers here come out on shimmering tiered platters, sliced wagyu beef gets presented under a pool of smoke, and drinks come served in glasses that look like diamonds. Makiin is best saved for a bougie date night or when the only way you want to celebrate a milestone is over “award-winning chicken” spritzed in edible glitter. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
