We managed to score a reservation at Hayato for last weekend and had a really wonderful experience. Hayato is a small restaurant, only 7 seats, and 1 seating per night, that does Japanese Kaiseki. The chef, Brandon Hayato Go, has experience working in multiple top of the line kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo.
