The 25 Best Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"A meal at Somni is as incredible as it is incredibly expensive. At this theatrical fine dining spot in West Hollywood, dinner costs $645 per person ($495 for the 20-course tasting menu, plus $150 minimum for the required beverage pairing) which officially makes it the priciest restaurant in LA. That said, it’s clear where your money is going. Chefs with Secret Service earpieces present each Spanish-leaning dish with effortless poise, every detail feels considered, and the three-hour event unfurls like a seamless stage play. Between the raft of caviar on a dashi-flavored puff, smoked teriyaki turbot fin, and the most ludicrous cheese course we've ever tasted, the deeply layered, seafood-heavy cooking will haunt our dreams—and our bank accounts—for the foreseeable future. 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, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
