Yes, I expected that other people would have different opinions! Perhaps why we were so disappointed with The Mark was because we had very high expectations. Had heard and read a lot of good things which is why we chose the hotel.
Have heard not so nice things about the service at the new MO, but will probably give it a try the next time we're in the city. Might be worth the price if they can get us seating at Masa (probably not, but we loved the old Ginza Sushiko in Los Angeles enough to give it a shot!).
