Lilo
$$$$•Californian•5(437)A lively and immersive dining experience that welcomes you to celebrate life’s special moments, Lilo harnesses the untamed spirit of the California coast and the world's shorelines through a curated, seafood-focused multi-course tasting menu rooted in a thoughtful connection to nature, served around a 24-seat chef’s counter.Sake Bar Ikkon
$$$$•Japanese•5(12)Sake Bar Ikkon is a Sake pairing bar, owned and curated by certified sake sommelier Ayaka Ito. Focused on creating an experience built around small plates, hand picked sake, and the unique flavors they create together.
Ito has built every experience around three elements in harmony: sake, food, and glassware. Change the glass, and the same sake tastes different. Add the right dish, and something unexpected comes alive. Get all three right, and the result is something you can’t quite explain, but will never forget.
In collaboration with Marie Chiba, owner of EUREKA! Tokyo’s legendary sake bar, Chef Ryan Miller has created a menu where sake, food, and glassware are chosen with that magic in mind. We can't wait to welcome you for this unique experience!
