"Thanks to Netflix and a slew of other filmmakers, N/Naka is consistently one of the most difficult reservations to secure in town. You might fail a few times (OK, you’ll fail a lot of times), but take a cue from Aaliyah and dust yourself off and try again—maybe you'll have more luck than us. Much like Hayato, it's been a few years since we've be able to book a table at this tiny, nondescript building in Palms, but in general expect stellar high-end service and a modern kaiseki menu involving 13 courses that change with the seasons. That might include things like foam-topped conch, steamed and fried dishes, wagyu, and a whole bunch of sushi. Just be ready to dish out $365 per person for it." - garrett snyder
