The first and only comment I read. And my comment to that is..... DONT frickING GO THERE THEN.

frick everyone’s comments shaming them. I bet that place is gonna do more than just fine as long as the food and drinks are actually good. A business can do whatever the hell they want.

It’s socialism. Not so subtle criticism for catering to people who can afford it and using price point to keep out lower class of people. The shamers want it to be a restaurant for all,
with low prices for all.

Then she is missing out.

Certain things are worth paying for, at least on occasion. My wife and I ate at Hall's Chophouse in Columbia, SC last Sunday with friends. My tomahawk alone was $100 and worth every penny IMO for an experience with friends in an awesome environment with great food and professional wait staff. My wife had no issues hitting $100+ bucks either.

Bottom line: it is a private business that is setting a purchase minimum to attract their desired clientele and establish a higher end atmosphere, which no one should have an issue with. If you don't like it, don't go. Grab a steak from the butcher and grill it at home or head to Texas Roadhouse and throw peanut shells in the floor.

Unless they can put a steak in a blender, there's probably nothing on the menu she can eat.

$100 minimum is very easy to hit at a steakhouse. A steak is $45, 2 old fashions is $25, bowl of soup another $15, side is $5, and dessert is $10. That's $100 right there, and that's being on the low side of estimates.

I personally don't like steakhouses for this exact reason. That $100 can get you an epic meal at a place that has more inspired and/or unique food than a piece of grilled meat.

I just added up a typical order. That my usual date and I would order and I was at $178 without drinks and we always get a bottle of wine. $200 shouldn't be an issue. I wonder if this applies to lunch also?
