Technically, the prices on the menu are an offer. An
offer becomes a contract when there is consideration.
That is, when the customer pays or the restaurateur
prepares the ordered food, it becomes a contract.
Until then there is no contract and the restaurant can
refuse the order if they realize there's been an error.

My comment above has nothing to do with the OP's
original question "am I over-reacting?" I would say
no. This client is definitely a sleaze and the firm
will be better off without him. His behavior not only
demeaned himself but those at the table with him by
association.

As to another comment in this thread regarding wealthy
people in general, I think that was unfair. There are
many generous, decent people who also happen to be
rich. Unfortunately, none of them want to do anything
for me. :^)
