"N/naka's food is almost too beautiful to eat, served to diners who have sometimes waited up to three months for a reservation. Each dish on their 13-course menu (which is also available in vegetarian form) is a love letter to the season—you'll be equally as impressed with her classic presentation of sashimi as you will the spaghettini with abalone, pickled cod roe, and Burgundian truffles—and chef Niki Nakayama impresses with her use of native Californian ingredients. Thoughtful's the word here for the three-hour culinary experience that might transform the way you view food." - Hugh Garvey, Celeste Moure, Krista Simmons
