Default Price of a fugu dinner in the US

I recently saw a food documentary on TV where the lucky host when to
someplace in Kyushuu (spelling) Japan, and had an exquisite full blown
Fugu dinner.

The program started with catching the fish itself. The fugu was caught
in the wild, with a fishing line 100 meters long, with a hook attached
at every meter. It wasn't until the 2nd attempt did they actually
succeed in catching one. It was apparently a high end fugu, black
colored skin with a whiteish belly.

The hosts then went to an inn type of place and had a multi course meal
with fugu. There was of course the raw body sashimi (along with the
skin), then another dish that was more like a salad (fugu skin that
tasted like gelatin), fugu fish fin grilled, then dipped in sake
(torched to have the flavor sink in), and finally something that looked
like fugu shirako, grilled/skewered. Apparently this small amount of
the "milt" (two pieces), already runs US$40.

So I was wondering, how much does a fugu dinner cost in the US (I
assume with licensed chefs in the East Coast/NY area) and do they serve
something similar (multi course meal).
