My friend doesnt like fish and sea food so he had an all meat menu which was a lot better imo.
The most expensive place I've eaten out

I agree.
I wasn't so much surprised at the sides being a separate cost as I was at the sauce and even butter being separate costs at close to $10 each.
Butter 10.00???????!!!!!!!!!!!
What was the source of the butter? Horse milk? Bison milk?
Lol, their butter selection ranges from $7 to 9 dollars. The herb butter and cajun butter are $7 and the truffle butter and bone marrow butter are 9 dollars.
A little crazy, I know.
I didn't get any butter with my meal.
If I had ordered lobster tail, I would have gotten the bone marrow butter.

I think my most expensive was at Michael's in the Southpoint in Vegas. Dinner for two, a rack of lamb with decent bottle of wine, apps, and a split dessert was 750 USD. With tip.
Service was impeccable. Lots of little extras. A full fruit bowl, chocolate truffles, at least one amuse bouche. Old school atmosphere.
Also did the Beef Wellington at Ceasers another time. Hit about 200 usd per head there.
Of course then I did a 19.99 Prime Rib at Southpoint at it was just as good. Simpler. Salad, sides included. 7 buck on sale glass of wine.
At home I restrict dining out now to special occasions, take out pizza at a nice place, cheap Chinese, and occasional sushi. I'm very good in the kitchen and I find restaurant food to be over salted and sauced as a rule..

Went through a big foodie phase. Most expensive would be Per Se at USD$425/per person + extras. I've been trying to score a table at French Laundry for months. I've eaten at many 3 star restaurants like Le Bernadine and Daniel and most were more hype and fell short of exceptions. Micheline is really BS to me because if you travel through Asia, you will have a LOT of Micheline stared and guided restaurants in food courts and hole in the wall type places that are not really good.
I’ve eaten at places with michilen star places and some big name steak houses. Now that im solidly in my comfort years, who wants to eat dinner for 2.3hrs?
Ill hunt down the obscure food joints and food trucks to find chefs who are great at what they do and take my friends along.
Give me a pork belly burrito from a food truck, give me oxtail from danforth & Vic park, give me soup dumplings and Mom’s buns in Markham.
Just give me a solid friend or lover to enjoy them with. Thats makes it taste better.

Did you ever get to El Bulli in Spain?
I went twice. As a guest. Incredible experience that could never be had again.
Here is one of my favorite people, Jose Andreas, giving a tour.. Jose has many restaurants in the US. ALL of them said to be excellent. A bit pricy but god value for what you can't get anywhere else.
Filet is the worse cut of meat. Try a rib eye or porter house next time.
Fun fact Wagyu is the the same as Wagu.
