I don't have anything different to add, as everyone here seems to have summed it up well, expect for our experiences. We spent more than that on a meal as broke college kids and don't regret it to this day, nor even then as we worked our butts off to pay for it. And we remember it to this day! It was an experience, it wasn't just about food as fuel. Oddly enough it was even a French restaurant, but much closer to home Knowing what I know now a couple decades later I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. (although this time we'd remember to bring a jacket for hubby; it was a snooty place but we saw a couple jacketless fellows tucked into the corners like us so I didn't feel so bad once we got in )
I'm a budget person by nature, otherwise I wouldn't be on this board, but we pick and choose what we scrimp on so that we can afford what luxuries we want. Sometimes a meal is a luxury experience. I remember expensive meals long after the food's been consumed. If that's what you want to experience and remember, make sure you fit it in somehow; even if you have to go alone. You don't want to regret it later.
