Ko’s is a 2 Michelin-Star restaurant and was ranked as one of the top 50 restaurants worldwide in 2019. Their food is described as unexpected and delicious, and the chefs strive to make food that is traditional but innovative. There is no dress code here and the atmosphere is a bit more laid back in comparison to most places of this caliber, which may help break the ice with nervous clients. It is also split between two different spaces—the Main Dining Room and The Bar at Ko area. The Main Dining experience is an impressive 10-course meal that lasts around three hours (so plan accordingly!) while the Bar experience offers small plates and cocktails. Reservations MUST be made in advance for the Main Dining Experience.
