Dropped like $250 for four people for a decent but not expensive meal. Most expensive dinner I've ever wasted on myself came out to like $120. I say wasted because it was not really worth $120. Still good, but not worth $120.

I paid $93 or me, a friend and his gf to treat them for spending the day with me and helping me/cheering me on during a shitty time. Was like 6 plates of Chinese food at a pretty cheap restaurant. Shrimps, house rice, chowmein, beef and broccoli, pepper chicken and general tao. Also a garlic mushroom plate. I ended up eating nearly all of it becYse it was too much for them but it was delicious so I don't regret it

I'd like to think one of the girls was nice enough to acknowledge the amount of money you spent on them so she slept with you out of pity

I never ate at an expensive restaurant so for me it's probably 50 dollars

theres a pretty nice sushi place by me that has a combo that comes with a lot of sushi, salad, soup and these amazing deep fried oysters. it's $35 per person, but ive paid for the combo for 3 for my brother and a friend.

for my sisters 21st my family and a few cousins and friends went to an overpriced place called the sugar factory in nyc. they had these meme $36 fishbowl drinks. i think the bill came to over $400 and my parents paid for all of it.

nothing too crazy i guess. ive gotten drunk and ordered myself way too much takeout too.

let me clarify my statement: the meal itself was no where worth the money I paid, if looked at as a meal alone; yes the Oysters and Pearls was delectable, yes that piece of actual Japanese waygu was perfection, but it was still a meal...a 3 hour one but a meal nonetheless; the experience, however, was worth the price much like front row seats at <insert band of your choice here> would be....I’ll never go back, but I can reflect on the memory and feel pretty good about it

[Anonymous No.14394998]

800$ Tasting for two plus a bunch of add one and wine/cocktails. It was a 4 hour experience and progressed at a great pace, for me it was totally worth it. The question of whether something like that is worth it is dependent upon the individual, often when you pay that much it’s for an experience as well as the food. If you are into that sort of thing then you’ll like it, if you’re not into it then you’ll regret spending that much.

Really it's the liqour that does in my costs

[Anonymous No.14395413]

>>14394737
Like $100.
I don't trust portion sizes so I almost always buy a main and leave if dissatisfied, getting second dinner elsewhere as necessary. The $100 was already a 5 disappointingly small course set at an expensive restaurant, with some level of 8 person group buy discount.
Also my restaurant going is an all evening affair, so I'd never buy more than the one drink. I'd go to a bar after.
The most I've spent at a bar is closer to $200. That'll likely go up as I try all the cheaper whiskys available.

I got a promotion while on a business trip, so I celebrated by going to a Japanese themed grill.
It was one of those places where you can sit up at the bar right in front of the cooks and bartenders. I sat there and they handed me a menu, which I handed back and said, "Give me whatever you think is good."
So the cook just went nuts giving me all these fancy grilled meats, amazing stuff. I told them to match the drinks with the food, got to know the cook pretty well and had a great time. They knew I didn't care about the price and gave me some really special treatment.
When it was time for the bill, the bartender gave me a worried look and gave it to me.
$500 AUD
I almost couldn't believe the price, it was the most expensive bill I had ever seen. Even when I go out with family the bill never gets that high.
But I really enjoyed myself, absolutely the best dining experience I ever had.

140 bucks bill plus tax at Hugo's Cellar in Vegas. I had won a 10k video poker jackpot the night before and everyone I was with had already gone home whilst I was staying another night. It was actually pretty reasonable for what I got: Manhattan cocktail, lobster bisque, filet Oscar style with a half order of giant scallops and an espresso. Included in the entrée price was a bread plate, a table side made salad, a palate clearing sorbet and some chocolate dipped fruit dessert. Pic related was my 1 in 650,000 dealt hand and I just happened to be playing ten handed. I left an even 200 for the tab.

I have not found that restaurants have access to hard liquor that I don't. Some bars do have independent bottlings you can't get, and some have their own bottlings that no one can get, but you're getting pretty specialist there. Typically my personal collection bought from regular bottle shops will eclipse a bars.
They certainly have direct connections to wine that you can't access though (without showing up in person, at least). Which I am not a fan of. When it comes to wine there is too much to try, so part of what you pay for at a restaurant is curation. Which is useless if you can't then buy the bottles you've liked.

$120 for a seven course omakase - no booze
$90 or so at an izakaya to celebrate the end of the semester - had a bunch of dishes and three drinks. Chuhai, some hard to find japanese whiskey, and sake which they poured in the meme way where the glass overfills into a separate container. Then I went to the movie theater and watched First Reformed.

one time I was real suicidal and I was literally going to heem myself and I figured wtf does it matter I might as well blow some money so I brought some real fucking expensive champagne (like 300+dollars), and tonnes of oysters and other shit

of course, being suicidal, I didn't enjoy any of it and just ended up crying in my car and going home afterwards. I actually tipped most of the bottle out on the road in a rage. The oysters tastes like seawater snot.

Well, by your standards, the "one meal" portion of the "one meal" qualifier does not seem very important...

Most expensive meal I've ever purchased? Probably taking my sister and mom out to eat at a nice sushi place, about $100 for the three of us. Never had a serious enough relationship to go out to a fancy restaurant and when I eat solo I don't need to spend that much even at night restaurants. There's also the time some coworkers and I were grading final projects for 12 hours at the end of the semester, and I bought everyone dinner from a takeout place. That was probably about $100 too.

The most expensive meal I've ever had was for my 13th birthday. My parents took out to Michael Simon's Lola in Cleveland -- he'd just won the Iron Chef competition. They paid for us to have the chef's tasting, one of those fancy meals where they serve you whatever the chef feels like cooking at a special table. It was a 7-course meal, pork belly and scallop, sturgeon wrapped in potato, beet and goat cheese salad, that kind of thing. We even got to meet Michael Simon and Dad told him a cringe joke about how it was a better 13th birthday than the traditional banishment from the herd common in tribal societies. (?) Mom later ruined it all by complaining about how much it cost, $600 or something. It was nice, we all fondly remember it. Highly recommend everyone go to a fancy restaurant at least once.
