Iki Omakase is one of the many places in Palo Alto serving expensive fish. At the eight-seat counter, you’ll get so many courses of expertly prepared uni, octopus, and torched toro that you might eventually lose count (on our last visit, we tallied 24, which were delicious but almost overly filling). The $195 dinner is the most intimate sushi experience you can get in town, and they take their sushi seriously—you could hear a pin drop in the stark, black and gray space, so prepare to whisper with your date or risk the entire room knowing about your impending DMV appointment next week.
