How expensive is the food?
How good is the food?
And is it worth the trip to come from out of town for it? (Considering I also have a ton of choices in NYC)
My coworker has been there. From what I remember, it is quite expensive, one of those places you might go to celebrate an anniversary or similar. I would guess about $200 including drinks and a full meal, maybe a bit less.
She loved the food... she frequently tries to describe the meal when I ask her more about the place.
I don't know if it would be worth the drive, except for the "I've been to morimoto" effect. You have nobu in new york, which is probably a little better (though different). I might be wrong about that, maybe it's gone downhill since morimoto left.
I went to spago once, and felt that it was good, but wouldn't be worth a return trip. Yet I was glad I went there just because it was one less thing to do on my "before I die" checklist. [added for clarification] That's probably the reason I would want to go to morimoto some day.
