$50/person is a lot? Or is that like tapas plates?
I'd consider it a lot, but nowhere near what I'd expect for the fanciest places.
I guess it depends on where you are, but in the Bay Area a mid-to nice place is around that or a bit more (eg they’ll have some entrees in the $30-40 and others in the $50-70 range) with appetizers being another $15 each. Sides are additional at a steak place.
A nice place (Michelin-type fine dining) will have a tasting menu that goes for $200-350 per person (that’s the one where you get multiple courses of tiny dishes), and the wine pairing on top of that can be another $150/person or more. If you add in cocktails or other upgrades (like a caviar appetizer), you can be getting up around $1000 per person.
Prices in the Bay Area blow my mind. Isn't it the most expensive place to live in the country?
It is definitely among them, as far as I know. I think we have the highest average rent in the state, and the overall Coal is pretty high. Salaries are also higher but the effect of the people at the higher end of the scale affects the people at the lower end. I’ve seen far more adults with roommates as a normal situation here than pretty much anyplace I’ve lived outside of NYC.
nowadays even the cheapest fast food is bloody expensive
