Most expensive meal

[Rman]

I thought this might be a fun thread.

What has been your most expensive meal and at what restaurant?

My most expensive meal cost me $280.  We had a party of four and the bill for the entire table was $1200. It was a six course meal with wine tasting at Blue Hill restaurant, a three star joint in Westchester, New York.  It was worth every penny.

I dropped $50 at Waterzooi, a pretty nice Belgian bistro in Garden City, a few weeks ago... but then again I don't believe in spending a lot on food (usually just go to hole-in-the-wall ethnic chains to eat), I don't drink with meals (just get water), and only order a main course and (maybe) an appetizer, no dessert.

I spent around $120 at a place here called Roy's Riverboat Landing  (balconies overlooking the riverfront, very pretty) a couple of years ago, and around that much taking the check at a Thai place called Indochine (they have a watergarden in back, with gazebos that have handcrafted metal roofs, also very pretty) a year or so ago, but I generally don't ever spend that much $ on restaurant meals.

Remember that thread where FoC bragged about his 70+ steak dinner or some crap. Oh the lolz rolled in that night.

He paid 70 dollars for steak or did he eat 70 steaks?
(I know that's probably not true, eating 70 steaks that is)

$1,200 for six people (me, my wife, my parents, and my wife's parents) at the Waterfront in Seattle last November. My dad and my father-in-law split the bill, but I still couldn't believe how expensive it was.

Also, there was a tip included in the bill, but they still left an extra $175 tip... whoops.

I don't think I've ever spent more than 80 dollars for my own meal.  the most expensive meal I've ever paid for for a 150 dollar meal.  It was good, but it felt like such a waste.  so fuck that shit.

then again, I wasn't of drinking age then.  I bet I could spend quite a bit of money now at one of those restaurants with wine or something.

For graduation I went to a really nice resteraunt where I got Steak and Lobster a few beers, dessert and so on. i think my part of the meal was around $70. I would search for the thread if I could.

I've had $80+ bar tabs where I've ordered the cheapest hamburger on the menu.  I don't think I've ever spent more than $50 on food alone, but it isn't something I keep track of.

I've had a piece of steak at Mortons, I think it was around $50.  We had lobster cocktail appetizers though, and a couple of $300 bottles of wine.  I think between 5 people the tab including tip was close to $1000.  It was a very nice meal but I'd never buy something like that for myself.

13 euro, Burger King.

I ate at The Palm for my birthday last year, courtesy of my folks.  I think for four people, the bill came out to like $270.  Luckily, we had two $100 gift cards!

$10k, for my wedding reception.

What that for the food and booking the reception hall or just the food?

Holy shit. Look on the bright side though, at least there's nothing better than wedding food amiirte?

At one wedding I went to, they had bbq, and seafood. It was AWESOME. CALAMARI

The most expensive meal I had was a $300/person meal at some fancy dinner cooked by a bunch of award winning chefs.  A business friend of my dad paid for it though.  The most I spent was about $150 at a French restaurant in Vegas, which is probably not that much for French. 

Remember that thread where FoC bragged about his 70+ steak dinner or some crap. Oh the lolz rolled in that night.

I get $70 steaks several times a year.  I have to say that most of the time it's not worth it.  You can get 80-90% of the quality at 1/2 the price elsewhere.  The extra cost just seems to be for the fancy setting and more elegant service.

J Alexander's steaks are top notch and only cost 30 dollars for a 16 oz.
