"Midway through a meal at The Shota in FiDi, the chef will pull out a detachable plastic model of a fish. Off will come the head, then the belly, and suddenly you'll find yourself in the midst of a delightful tuna anatomy course you won't want to end—just like the rest of dinner. From a cushy white bar seat, you’ll be treated to 17 luxurious courses including some fishes flown in by jet from Japan. And despite being a splurge ($300), you should still confidently book a table for dinner—this is one you'll be thinking about long after it’s over. Cost: $300 per person, with optional add-ons. Wine and sake pairings available. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
