You need deep, deep pockets to indulge at Masa. This is the high roller’s table for gourmands, given that you’ve already committed to spending $400 just by walking through the 2,500-year-old -Japanese cedar door before you’ve had a drink, tacked on tax or paid the gratuity. Chef/owner Masa Takayama creates a different dining experience each day based on market offerings. A mere shiitake mushroom, for example, is raised to shrine-worthy status. Every detail at Masa is aesthetically exquisite, from the amazing cuisine to the top-flight service.
