ARTS DISTRICT - Japanese - DineLA @ Kodō - $85+

Kodō, in Arts District, is a firehouse-turned-steakhouse, featuring a raw bar with Japanese flair. The wines are natural, and the vibe is tranquil and cool. The DineLA menu is good value proposition, with interesting dishes on offer. Of particular interest is the 5 oz. portion of Wagyu ribeye steak, with no supplemental upcharge.

NOTE: We will have two (2) tables of 6 seats each. One reservation will be at 5:00pm (under Sklar) and one will be at 5:15pm (under Vince).

As always, last-minute cancellations (i.e. less than 48 hours), late arrivals, and no-shows are "no-no's". Don't be that person, or you may be put on "double secret probation" for at least 2 months.
