kevin,
I checked my checkbook and saw that our last bill at Nishimura's was $99 (with 20% tip) for the both of us.... and we really really ate well. We even had some pricer items like Abalone Sashimi, and also had a couple beers. The other time we went our bill was less... more like $85 (for 2 with 20% tip). I think you will also find Nishimura himself friendlier than Shige at Shibucho. Shige was actually quite nice to us (however we were extra friendly cuz i had heard about his reputation on this board) but I kinda got the feeling he was laughing at us and some other patrons. (maybe cuz we drank beer with our foie gras ~ we would have spent $300 if we ordered wine there, which they tried to get us to order with our foie gras!!) Of course I am not sure they were laughing at us since they were speaking Japanese, but it felt like it. As for desert at Nishimura's, can't help you we ate so much sushi we didn't even ask about any. I will say that Nishimura's is definately worth trying! Seems like a bargain now after Shibucho!
