Assuming you don't mean a tasting menu, so I guess it would be a steak of some sort. $50 maybe.


Maybe it was one of the infamous Little Village specials though. I never asked the prices.

around $300 for two at Gary danko. I had the 5 course, she had 4 I think. it included drinks as well.

it was definitely worth it. best dinner ever.

I've spent $200 at the village in Shreveport before, including drinks.

30th birthday party at Clancy's. Had the entire place. That was one AMEX bill I hated paying. Plus, a window was broken to add to the bill. Good times had by all.

Most I've ever spent on a single meal was probably Le Bernardin. Most expensive entree was probably my filet at Prime, the Bellagio steakhouse.

So is it one entree or one meal?

Entree: veal chop at The Village in Shreveport was about $70. Not that great. Beef steak or lamb would have been better and cheaper.

Meal for one: probably August tasting menu with wine pairings. Worth it, especially since it was reimbursed.

In 1994 another Arthur Andersen tax manager and I took a billionaire client's daughter to dinner in the Wine Cellar at Masa in San Francisco. She ordered 3 bottles of wine. The cheapest was $4,800. I had to excuse myself and go call the partner on the engagement. He told me to have a good time, and that her dad was going to end up paying for the meal.

The bill came to just under $18,500 for the 3 of us. Thank God for American Express.

I don't remember the most expensive entree, but I entertained customers at Spiaggia in Chicago many years ago and it was $3700 for 6 of us and a 5 hour event.

Filet at Cut in Vegas... $70 I think. We spent about $200 per including sides and wine. Great meal and worth every penny.

Not on my dime but most expensive meal I've participated in was my grandmothers 65th birthday at the Michelin starred dining room in the Ritz Carlton Atlanta. I believe it ended up being around 18-20 courses and wine pairings. Included a pre dessert, a desert course, a chocolate course and a post dessert palate cleanser. I was young and wish I remembered more about the specifics of the meal, but for the 8 of us it came out to over 10k. Absolutely incredible experience and was a very strong factor in paving the way for me getting into fine dining.

A meal we had in Iceland a few years ago was around 2500 American for five of us, great meal but way overpriced for what it was... Everything is insane expensive in Iceland though.
