Totally agree with you Richard. We are light eaters and will split an app/salad and an entree. The killer is always the alcohol as we don't skimp. Wine is $9/glass or $50 for a bottle, and we don't drink well cocktails or house specials. A couple weeks back we had an early dinner at Las Olas. Sure you're paying for the location - and it is excellent. With our 2 kids in tow we split 3 Mexican combos (very basic food but good), a couple sodas, and 4 premium margaritas (for Mom and Dad, son drove us home). With tip is was $160.
We are trending away from sit down restaurants for sure. Prefer simple fresh foods that we throw together at home with me as the bartender.
