I'm of the same mindset. Masa is the only 3* spot in NYC that I have not gone to. I can get incredibly good sushi and kaiseki elsewhere for less than half the price. Also, IMO if you're going to charge $600 a head, you shouldn't be nickle-and-diming me with supplement charges for every little thing. I mean, $150 extra for wagyu?? For comparison, at Chef's Table you get the whole deal (A5 wagyu, caviar, truffle, etc.) for $330 without any supplement charges.

Has anyone here done Masa (3*) in NYC? At $595 the price tag just seems silly. I could go to Eleven Madison Park twice for that amount of money.
