what kind of absolute fucking monster drinks a bloody mary at dinner

The restaurant was literally called Bloody Mary's
I just wanted to see what their bloody mary tastes like okay

Holy shit lmao it's worse than I thought

u got a problem m8

>>10205929
alright, sure, but do they serve Bloody Bulls in NZ cause if so that'd clearly be the way you should have gone

6$ for a water ?

Most expensive meal in general:
I went to one of Marco Pierre White's restaurants in a posh hotel in the UK. I think the main dish I had was a filet mignon and my appetizer was beef carpaccio. I had some wine as well even though I was underage at the time. Must have cost over £150.
Most I've personally paid for:
My friend and I went to a random steakhouse during Christmas break after we got a little too drunk at a bar earlier in the night. I think my bill was something like $100 CAD.

>>10205883
who the fuck orders dessert

>>10205929
That's a decent reason since they are named after the drink you can assume it's a specialty of their, fair enough OP

>>10205984
ur mum

>>10205984
What's wrong with having an after dinner dessert?

>>10205883
$340 after being split 4 ways at the Gramacy Tavern with a few chef bros from NYC the three bottles of wine were what killed us the food was great but not memorable service was easily the best I've ever had in my life

dinner is suppose to be the lightest meal of the day

Don't see how it's "supposed" to be the lightest meal of the day

OP, this is why wagecucks remain wagecucks, and since you're poasting this receipt here i assume you're a wagecuck in his mid-to-late 20's, and not someone who is wealthy or owns his own business. i speak from experience, as i used to be a wagecuck and would *waste* on average around $60-120 per dinner on thurs-saturday nights, either trying to relax or to impress some girl who probably would've fucked me anyway if we had gone out for something more low-key like a $9 burger and a couple beers. having said that, you've already spent it, and if you enjoyed it, then take solace in the fact that moments are to be enjoyed. don't live with regret. if you didn't enjoy it, and if you don't want to spend that much per meal ever again, then don't do it. when you go out to eat you're really paying mostly for the service and for eating in a social environment at that venue. if you wanted to eat just for raw nutritional benefit, you wouldn't've been a consuemrist fag and gone out at some mid-to-high-tier fancy restaurant. you buy this shit because you want to feel like your work and your status in life has earned you this level of consumption. but if you aren't also saving and investing, you'll be caught in this work-then-consume-to-show-my-status cycle forever, until death.

>>10206034
it is supposed to be the lightest from a biological reason. And it makes sense.

Split with friends. Duck salad was bad. Asian salad with melon hoisin and mint but like actual whole mint leaves

>>10206521
>Duck and watermelon

That sounds like a really really really horrible combination

ate at Next in Chicago a few nights ago. here's how much it cost for 3 people with the wine pairing (which, as is usual with these tastings, is way too much white wine, not enough red). still a pretty spectacular meal. my only other criticism is that they did this whole spectacular feast with ice sculptures, this gorgeous spread of seafood, pigeon en croute, black truffle studded chicken, but then kinda phoned in the dessert course.

>>10205883
>OP spends 126$ for a shitty meal
>Even admits he "paired" drinks so much the whole experience is ruined
>Brags on /ck/ to soothe his regret

Really for that price, that's a shitty dinner. What kind of restaurant has you pay 53$ for a steak and doesn't even advice you on what to drink with it?

Anyway, over 100 UDS would be a lot for a home dinner, not in a restaurant, you disgusting pleb.

>>10206818
*Paired drinks so poorly

>>10206529
>duck and watermelon don’t go together
Ignorant little, weeaboo shit.

>Most expensive Ive eaten
Using arcane fiscal magic I got 4 days of per diem in one meal with a sub on a contract that really knew his meats. Had a lovely time discussing butchering, voodoo code and ways to hijack 802.11 signals over a $340 dinner of lamb, wine and a lavish charcuterie spread
>I paid for out of pocket
I woke up once with a red lobster reciept for 12 $9.99 lobster tails and nothing else. The liquor shits that morning were glorious

>>10205929
well at least that explains why you spent 17$ for it. here in the states charging that much for a bloody mary might get the restaurant owner drawn and quartered by an angry mob
unless its in the rich side of town, they have no clue how much things cost and will pay whatever the fuck it says

>>10205883
Let's just say I'll be paying off the debt for the rest of my life.

Picked up the tab for my grampa's 51st anniversary (my grandma died just before), so I went with him with my mom. 346 bucks for three sirloins and some choice wine.

>paying 17 dollars for an alcoholic drink

>>10206975
It's 17 New Zealand dollars which equates to like 12.50 USD.

>>10205895
He was probably drinking before they got there, idiot.

>>10205883
About $150, iirc. We were at a Ruth's Chris in Vegas. I wore a suit and tie. I'm easy to impress, okay?

>>10205937

>Taps knife on table
>got problem m8?

Spent about 65 after tip at a nice italian restaurant recently on a date night with the gf.

I think italian is the most overrated and overblown cuisine on earth.

Restaurant was really nice though and our server was good.

>>10206995
Still pretty expensive

>>10206995
>Paying $12.50 for a single cocktail

>>10206995
Both prices are retarded.

That's why I don't drink at restaurants.

>tfw spent $312 on a Brazilian steakhouse

It was so good, but is any food REALLY worth that much?

>>10207018
>>10207026
>>10207028
I never said it wasn't expensive, I was just saying it wasn't 17 USD. You guys sure are defensive.

>>10207036
You paid $13 for a bloody mary. We're mocking you.

>>10207031
There is never a food worth that much. However in a restaurant you're paying for an "experience" whatever that may mean to you.

>>10207044
But I'm not even the OP? You know what they say about assuming, anon.

>>10205883
Probably at Ruth's Chris or Council Oak. Both meme restaurants. I didn't pay. One was a business trip that my boss paid for, the other my ex's dad took us to. Council Oak was pricier. I think the bill was $1600 for six people.
I'm happier with meals I cook at home with my gf.

>>10205883
>spends 126 dollary-doos on a meal that would cost ~ $60-70 usd

The absolute state of the kiwi

>>10207067
Read that as ex dad and was really confused for a while. But I went to Ruth's Chris on a business dinner and it is probably the most overpriced and mediocre meal I've ever had.

>bloody mary
are you a girl?

>>10207009
I couldn't agree more. Italian is alright but no where near the the amazing level people crack it up to be.

>going to a restaurant
>instead of hosting at your own place and hiring a personal chef to use your kitchen
>and two wait-staff to run drinks cleaning
>and a dj to play light 80s lofi
You are all like little babies.
Probably only own a single suit and less than 3 ties too.

>>10207207

>>10207207
>less than 3 ties too.
I own enough of an education to tell the difference between less and fewer.

>>10205902
It is NEVER the wrong time for a Bloody Mary.

>>10205895
hard mother fucker had a mumm and a sparkling too

Around $160 for some fantastic dim sum at yank sing in SF for two people and one person who was weird about trying anything. So like.. 80 bucks each. Definitely worth it but I normally spend like 6 dollars for (significantly less) dim sum I buy from a little market. It's kind of hard to justify the huge price difference but the quality is not even comparable between the two so it works out.

>>10207233
>Implying anon didn't mean 'less' as in a total value
Do you even business casual.

Somewhere around $350-400. Was a party of 3 at a two Michelin star restaurant. 11 course tasting menu with wine pairing.

Total for 3 people was around $1250-1300 if I remember correctly.

>>10205883
56$ for 16oz steak oh sweety

>>10207326
Only time I spent that much was in my younger and dumber early years of dating and I would take her to some fancy restaurant without knowing what the meal or cost would be like.

>having a super fancy full course meal alone
lol wtf is wrong with you alone fag

>>10207406
.................... Not OP or anything but have you never asked for a separate bill? And 100 dollars is 'super fancy'? What the fuck is going on here

>>10207141
I agree. Oh wow my steak sizzles when it's brought out. I can baste a steak in butter too. Council Oak on the other hand was the best steak of my life. I wanted to get the 50$ filet since I knew I wasn't paying. But her dad made me get the Australian cut filet which was 129$. He liked to flash his money. Anyways it was a fantastic steak but not worth 129 bucks,

>>10207317
Was it worth it?

I Paid a MIllion once for my Meal, Im winner :)

>>10207424
I would say it is worth it for a celebration, in this case it was a graduation. But as a once in a decade type thing, sure i'd do it again.

>>10207236
it is always the wrong time for alcohol

>>10206020
>food was great but not memorable
lol, this has always been my impression of expensive NY restaurants. do you remember what year that was, by chance?

>>10207460
Yeah people in the city are fucking suckers. We had that nyc thread a few days ago and it was a total jerk with even other people from ny saying how full of shit they were.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Y'all think you're the shit and baller cause you've had one fancy meal in your entire life but me and my family eat out at Olive Garden EVERY MONTH!
Suck it up, poorfags.

>>10206556
anon, the reason wine pairings for tasting menus skew white is because most reds will overpower most light foods. generally there's only one or two actually heavy dishes in a tasting menu. i'd rather have appropriate wines with my food, and those will generally be whites at most fine dining places with all courses but meat.

>>10207474
>are fucking suckers
no, they just don't want to spend $20+ to get out of the city to find something cheaper.

They'd rather just spend the $30-40 increase for being in NYC and not bother with getting out of town.

It's all about location, and unless you're gonna spend an hour+ and $20+ in tolls, you're not getting out of the city to a cheaper restaurant.

>>10206997
>We were at a Ruth's Chris in Vegas. I wore a suit and tie
do people actually do this? you flyover fuckers are hilarious

>>10207487
Yeah, Nah. People dont go further into the city for a nice place to eat. They flee it like the plague.

>>10207247
the point of going to that place is so that every time you get a cheap shitty dumpling elsewhere, you're reminded of the heights of perfection dumplings can aspire to.

for what it's worth, best chinese food in SF is at Z&Y, and it's not even expensive. you do need to make a reservation to avoid the 2 hour wait though.

Spent $300 for 2 at a one star place for my birthday recently. got 8 courses and a nice bottle of wine. highlight was a beluga lentil salad w/ shavings of smoked foie gras & duck ham, beet-apple kraut & hazelnuts. i still think about that salad. would definitely do it again, i think 150 per person is an acceptable amount to spend once a year or so.

>>10206835
It was 2 cookies and a selection of sorbets
Also that's 6 great British dollars sterling to you

>>10207506
is it safe to smoke Hoppe's?

>>10207576

>>10205883
>What's the most you've spend on one single meal /ck/?
276€ drinks excluded (client paid for those), business dinner.
3 star michelin, but really either it means jack fucking shit or I'm too pleb to understand the appeal, because I thought the food was meh.

I was at the Cheesecake Factory the other night and spent close to $56
