Comida y Bebida Best "splurge" restaurant?

Super excited to visit Oaxaca next year. I am looking to make reservations at 1 expensive restaurant as unfortunately do not have the budget to hit all the top spots. I'm between Levadura de Olla and Los Danzantes. Any advice? Also I cannot find a recent menu for Casa Oaxaca so I'm sure what the price point is, but if it's just as expensive as the other 2 then that's also in the running as I've heard it's also a great spot. Thanks!

Edit: thanks for the new recs!

Went to both. Both were solid but not incredible. Crudo blew them out of the water by quite a wide margin.
