"Getting a reservation, even at the hottest places, isn’t usually a challenge in these parts.

But the biggest mystery to unravel will be which of the 12 courses will be your favorite, especially when every bite of high-grade nigiri is worthy of the title." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
