In the sense that it was the most delicious meal of my life, yes. Not something I'd do twice though.

If you were rich, could you see yourself spending that much money on a meal once in your life?

Honestly for me, the answer might still be "no", but I'd much rather blow extravagant cash like that on a fancy meal than I would on a luxury car or something. At least the meal might taste unique.

I wonder how rich I'd actually need to be to consider spending that on a meal. I'm thinking more rich than SephG honestly. Like not sure how much dude actually makes but I figure if I'm making that amount a day it's probably still too much.

Yes, I could see it if I had more money. What I can't see myself doing ever is paying for bottle service at a club. Or going to a club at all. I would rather watch grass grow.

Honestly, fish is best eaten raw or steamed. Any other preparation tends to ruin the deliciousness of the fish.

At that point you have the taste of the deep frying, not the fish. It can be good but it's not really the fish anymore. And I've never had anything deep fried that can come close to the utter deliciousness of high quality fresh seafood.

There was this papaya that they cut in half, carved out, and filled with uni, caviar, and some other stuff, then roasted. It was the tastiest thing that I've ever had and it's impossible to really describe why.

Also you all shouldn't really be questioning whether it's "worth it." It's all relative. The better question is if it's worth having TWO $350+ meals/person at a high quality restaurant instead. That would be a hard one to answer.

Its a tasting menu. So it's $1200 for the food, inclusive of tip, and the rest is alcohol and tax.

Those are the big ones that I've had. Going to sushi by bae soon but it's a white woman making it so I'm guessing it won't be that good.

For anyone wondering, here's the restaurant:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyLXLFaspj0" data-time="


Even as someone whose experience is relegated to $27 AYCE sushi joints, I can tell this restaurant is using amazing ingredients. Abalone, high-quality urchin, fatty tuna, and real wasabi are incredibly expensive. There are some pompous bits that I wouldn't have associated with a sushi place, like the gold flakes, but that probably helped him get to three Michelin stars so who knows. I think the dabbing of like... a quarter drop of lime on the fish is the most pretentious part of the vid though; only a 70-year-old Japanese guy can do something like that without being called out on it.

I got a nice Sauvignon Blanc. Nothing too pricey since it would be wasted on my palate honestly.

They offered sake pairings for a shitton of money but it didn't seem worth it.

My dining partner picked it. Couldn't tell you a thing about it but it was good!

The champagne with the caviar dish was unbelievable though. Definitely a great way to enjoy being a snob.

Something about uni done well is amazing. I still vividly remember the "liquid toast" from Saison (uni on sourdough that was cooked in brown butter), and it's been like four years since I had it.
