Fine dinning does not include fine price. There are many expensive places that are just rip-offs.
But there are very good places that are damn well worth the money, especially if you have it. I don't understand why there is all this hate toward people splurging on meals. So what?
Applebees is a rip-off though, too. So people that are going there spending their money can't really criticize anybody else for being ripped off.
