The Toughest Reservations In LA Right Now (And How To Get Them) - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Verdict: While we’ve never had a bad meal at Hayato, the overall experience at this high-end kaiseki counter is serious and a little stiff. There’s no music and only scattered conversation from the chefs. If your focus is solely on elegantly prepared Japanese food, consider it a destination, but there are also other options for exciting omakase meals in town. Reservations are released on the first of the month at 10am and vanish instantly (there are only 7 seats per night). Hayato tends to prioritize bookings for regulars, but if you're persistent in joining the waitlist, it'll eventually pay off." - brant cox, sylvio martins
