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.
I'm not sure how they justify the high price at Masa. I've been to several 2* and one 3* sushi in Tokyo and even when the dollar was trading low vs yen, my meals never exceeded $450. This didn't include alcohol though.
