Where I Go Out

Omakase

Akiko’s Restaurant & Sushi Bar

$$$$, Sushi, Japanese, Financial

"The one thing I missed about LA was the sushi, but Akiko's is just as good as anything I have had there. Sit at the bar, relax, and let the talented chefs feed you (I like Ricky, but they are all super talented)."

B. Patisserie

$$$$, Full Bar, American, Italian, Polk Gulch

"I could eat these all day; they are just delicious. Chef Suzette knows flavors and has created a timeless dish that I will always crave."
