First, I agree with the points that you raised in your prior post all
the way. We'd just heard so much about it over the years we figured
that we should try it at least once before being "planted". ;-)

I don't mind you asking at all. It was $190 per/couple with drinks and
tip.

Would I have been less critical of it was less? Probably not. I don't
mind paying for good stuff and I certainly like paying less for it a
lot more. But, whatever I'm paying I just want it good.

I have to assume your bar bill made up a goodly portion because from your
description of the meal you had that's a rather hefty tab... and like
essentially all yoose had was a so-so salad and the entree (actually from your
description it was the children's portion), no appetizers, no soups, no
desserts. Your food bill shouldn't have been a cent over $35 each.

Well, I think that others had three bottles of some kind of wine. Most
had appetizers (I passed) all had soup, all had salad, all had main
courses, all had dessert (I didn't really have dessert as I said
earlier). Everything was a la carte. For drinks, I believe that I had
two Sam Adams. I didn't run down everyones meal as the only one that
I felt qualified to judge was mine. Nancy agrees though that we won't
be back.
