LA's Most Exciting Fall Restaurant Openings 2024 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Don’t call it a comeback—after parting ways with the SLS Beverly Hills hotel and building out a new location in West Hollywood, chef Aitor Zabala is relaunching his experimental, Spanish-leaning tasting menu spot near the end of the year. At $495 per person, Somni will tie Vespertine for most expensive restaurant meal in LA, though for that price you’ll enjoy 20-plus dishes like smoked eel with bone marrow and green apple, spot prawn gazpacho, and poached lobster with a potato croissant. Limited reservations are rolling out between now and December, though with only 14 seats per night, don’t expect many open slots. Somni offers just 14 seats, with only one dinner seating per night at 7:30pm, Wednesdays to Sundays. So plan ahead: Reservations are released a month in advance on the first weekday of each month at 1pm. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins
