Little Rock’s So Restaurant-Bar has an exquisite selection of appetizers, such as seafood fondue and roasted root vegetables as well as entrees such as cast iron seared salmon and vegetable fried rice.

5. California

Urasawa in Beverly Hills charges customers $395 for one meal that is nearly as expensive as Saison’s.
