  • Micheline star restaurants are like 1000 for two people. closer to $2000 if you get the wine pairings with each course.

    200 is a basic level neighborhood restaurant/pub, of which every city has dozens and dozens of them.

    a mid level restaurant, at like a hotel or something, is going to be 300-500.

    last time i got dinner for two at a hotel style restaurant, cloth tables and all that, it was $350 for a bottle of red wine, two appetizers that were bite-sized, and two chicken/salmon dinners. no dessert. the wine was cheap too, only 75 bucks a bottle, the average bottle price was closer to 100+ beef or high end fish dishes will also run you 50-60 dollars.

    That dinner was on a date with a woman I’d been seeing for two months. She got very angry that it was too cheap, and told me if really ‘liked her’ I’d have spend way more on her. That by only spending $350, I made her feel ‘cheap’ and I didn’t like her.

    I said I don’t spend money like that at restaurants, even on myself, and she told me I was a bastard and a loser. We broke up that night. She was from some rural town in Vermont and was a school teacher. She was not a model or anything either, just an average looking school teacher making maybe 70K a year. But her mind if a man truly liked her he should be spending $1000s of dollars on dates with her and I was a horrible bastard for only taking her out on ‘cheap’ dates and she ‘deserved’ a ‘real man’ who ‘takes care of her and her needs’.
