For me, a great part of the experience _is_ the food. When we go
out, it is so someone else cooks and does the dishes, largely. I can
cook better than most places for less than a quarter of the cost, so we
know we are paying for the service mostly. However, if the food doesn't
measure up to the price, it doesn't matter how nice the surroundings or
service, since we're not going to enjoy the eating as much.
