Fantastic One-Night-Only French & Japanese Michelin Collaboration. Michelin star-studded Josiah Citrin & Morihiro Onodera teamed up for the best collaboration. Both renowned chefs are very friendly. All dishes were tastefully curated. My favorite dish was the perfect & tender Lobster with Zucchini Blossom. Such a lovely evening with my super foodie friends. Reservati0n was hard to book for the 1-night collaboration event. Only 5 tables served in unison per seating, with 2 seating available. $595 per person plus 23% gratuity. Booked through OpenTable with full payment upfront and no cancellations. Free metered parking around the blocks on Sunday nights (check signs).
