Eh, that’s like regular restaurant. Appetizer: $18. Entrees: ~$30 each. Drinks: like $16 each; on a date, probably each getting two. Dessert: $12. Add 7% tax and then 20% tip and you’re just about there.
Yea ok, but I also understand that price’s differ from place to place.
Also I didn’t even think about desert, my mind went to a typical date, drink eat and a walk after.
Last time I went to a Michelin star place it was closer to $600 for me and my wife…. And that was almost 2 years ago (at these prices, can’t really do that too much anymore)
Micheline star restaurants are like 1000 for two people. closer to $2000 if you get the wine pairings with each course.
200 is a basic level neighborhood restaurant/pub, of which every city has dozens and dozens of them.
a mid level restaurant, at like a hotel or something, is going to be 300-500.
last time i got dinner for two at a hotel style restaurant, cloth tables and all that, it was $350 for a bottle of red wine, two appetizers that were bite-sized, and two chicken/salmon dinners. no dessert. the wine was cheap too, only 75 bucks a bottle, the average bottle price was closer to 100+ beef or high end fish dishes will also run you 50-60 dollars.
That dinner was on a date with a woman I’d been seeing for two months. She got very angry that it was too cheap, and told me if really ‘liked her’ I’d have spend way more on her. That by only spending $350, I made her feel ‘cheap’ and I didn’t like her.
I said I don’t spend money like that at restaurants, even on myself, and she told me I was a bastard and a loser. We broke up that night. She was from some rural town in Vermont and was a school teacher. She was not a model or anything either, just an average looking school teacher making maybe 70K a year. But her mind if a man truly liked her he should be spending $1000s of dollars on dates with her and I was a horrible bastard for only taking her out on ‘cheap’ dates and she ‘deserved’ a ‘real man’ who ‘takes care of her and her needs’.
Average night 200? Are they going to a Michelin star restaurants? Are they trying to impress or something? To many questions.

A regular restaurant where? Those prices (especially the cocktails) are what I’d see at a higher end place, but I’m in the Midwest
Oh maybe. I’m in New England.
Mostly any mid to large city? I’m also in the Midwest and these prices are fairly standard for a somewhat Middle of the road sit-down restaurant.
I live in a large Midwestern city and those prices are what I’d find in the trendy downtown spots, not a middle of the road sit-down restaurant

sounds cheap, was it one of those countryside ones?
all the places like that in my city are like 500 per person or more as the base price for the meal, today at least.
true they were like half that a 5 years ago. I used to go to omakase for about $150/pp, now it’s like 350.
