Re: Romantic and affordable restaurants in NYC
said by jwersan  :I was going to post that you had to choose one or the other, but I guess there are a few in NYC.  For me, it is impossible for the wife and I to enjoy a meal where the check is not over $100, but I guess that is related to the the restaurants we like. You must be drinking some nice wine with that. Most of the restaurants I go to are quite nice and even with wine it's maybe $80 for a couple. Skip the wine and you're at almost half that. Unless you're eating some crazy cuisine - I stick to mainly Italian. |

| Nope, no alcohol at all, but then again we tend to frequent the higher priced restaurants.

An example, I love to go to Outback for a Filet Mignon, but when I go to Gallagar's, it is just so much better.
Now one costs around $22.50 with all the fixings, the other is $38 for just the Filet.
Here's the menu.

| With steak I agree more expensive is generally better. As I said, I mostly eat Italian food and really that is based on the chef more so than the quality after a certain point so I can't say the super expensive restaurants have been any more satisfying. |

| That isn't always the case though, I have been to super expensive resturants in NYC, Las Vegas, Los Angles and San Francisco, and 6 out of 10 times they are super expensive because something COOL happened there than because of their food.
Example what's that steak house here in NYC that is supper expensive because some mob dude was wacked in front of it?
But then there is a steak house like Boa which I have eaten at in Malibu and Las Vegas, and while the Malibu one had fantastic food the Vegas one was unable to duplicate.
Cheap doesn't always mean bad food and expensive doesn't always mean great food, not even for a steak house.
