That makes our $5.95 steak dinners positively CHEAP

But then these are Monday night specials at the local hotel/bar/restaurent. Good food, but not exactly silver service !

Well we did push the boat out on that one. I'm sure the drink was over 50% of that bill!

As long as the food is good, who cares about the service? If the service is not great, don't leave a tip

Sometimes, you just want that extra special evening

We did that recently, and got the full silver service, with waiters hanging round to top up your wine glass for you etc, etc.

4 of us, but with only 1 bottle wine (only 2 drinkers) $125.00
Full 3 course Roast Beef Dinner.

Not available at that price all the time though !!
