Yamakase@Sawtelle ★★★

Exquisite Kaiseki Ryori Experience. Lots of Uni and Truffle. Yama-san is very friendly and easy-going, making the dining experience fun and cozy. Everyone in the restaurant pretty much became friends at the end of the dinner. Dinner took 3.5 - 4 hours. One seating per night at 7pm. By invitation only, but you can request invitation on their website. $425 per person with tax and tips included. $0 corkage fee! Just share the booze with Yama-san!
