The prices on a menu are a contract. If you are the restaurant and
publish a contract then you are obligated to honor the contract. I worked
at a restaurant where we showed a piece of pie in the menu, the one
delivered was not anything like the picture. Manager told me it took
three pieces of pie to make it look as big as the strawberry pie in the
picture.
