Nope. I'm telling the family that I want at least 20% now:') My point was that, I personally would feel that it was a waste on my money to spend 750 for a meal. Maybe that is what being poor teaches you. I could afford it now but I wouldn't. More importantly, I would not want to eat at a restaurant, charging this much, knowing that their help is making 2.50 an hour and depending on me to subsidize their income. Sorry if that offends you. It's just me.

The help at a place which charges $750 make an awful damned lot more than $2.50 an hour. Trust me.

Depends on how many people are with you. I personally really enjoy fine dining. But hey, that's just me.
