WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING FOR $200?!

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Upscale restaurant and too many drinks. I can go out and spend less than $20, easy (we pay for our own).

yea that should be a pretty nice restaurant including alcohol. maybe it helps i dont live in NYC or LA but $200 is absurd.spending $200 on dinner is a big deal to me and my gf and it happens maybe a few times a year. but if we do its probably one of the nicer restaurants around.

It's like ~$115-$175 per person for a full course at a Michelin restaurant in my city

I went out the other day and it was less than $100 for 3 people at an american joint

Isn't the food the inexpensive part at those places?

Yeah I'm over here wondering the same thing. $200 is multiple bottles of single malt scotch. Surely you can stick to some box wine and vodka that comes in a plastic bottle, rather than going through 5 bottles of Glenmorangie 10 if you wanna get blitzed?

$200 is like....major anniversary dinner (10 or 25 years together, for example). Dropping $200 on a first date seems a little too tryhard.
