Ito, an omakase chamber with fish flown in daily from Japan, lies within the Poodle Room on the top floor of the Fontainebleau tower that opened in December on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Poodle Room is a private club, but Ito, which debuted Feb. 1, takes reservations from the public for its 12 seats offered twice a night five days a week.

Omakase meals feature refined dishes prepared on the spot according to seasonality, ingredient availability and the whims of the chef. Celebrated chefs Masashi Ito and Kevin Kim created the restaurant, in partnership with VCR Group.
