High end restaurants have great food. What you're really paying for though is the privilege of staying for the entire evening. You're paying for three meals.
No, this seems to be a mostly north american problem.... i've never been rushed to GTFO in europe or asia, no matter high or low end
I'm in NA and I've never been asked to leave a restaurant in my life.
The closest has ever been being in a busy restaurant at peak time and seeing a line of people waiting to be seated and I'm well and done just chatting it up.
Still not asked to leave, but I noticed glances from staff and such so I left earlier than I would have, but on my own accord because I want to be helpful.
i didnt mean literally asked to leave, but i've had the check brought to the table without me asking, which is a pretty clear sign they want you out
Also being told at the start of the meal that there is a 90min limit until the next seating, or at the time of reservation that there is a time limit
You can do that at a regular restaurant, too (without being an asshole), if you’re working on something or an EMT on duty or something like that. Just tell them what’s up ahead of time, don’t do it on a Saturday night if possible, and be prepared to tip a lot on a relatively small bill.
