Ogawa Miami
Eleven seats, reservations booked weeks out, fish flown in from Japan daily, Michelin star on the wall—and yes, it justifies roughly $650 per person. The chef's precision and the staff's ability to anticipate what you need before you know it yourself feels like a completely different category of meal. The trade-off: the space sits near an active railroad, so when a train passes, the whole building vibrates.
Pro tip: Book the moment reservations open. They fill completely and stay that way. If you're flexible on dates, you have a better shot.
