if they were really trying, the dinner bill would have been higher than $2K for five people.
You are so NY. I was horrified, myself.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
$400 a person is a lot, obviously, but a couple of minutes of looking tells me you can get a $90 entree at Delmonico's, and that's before the expensive wine. Per Se is what, $250 for just the food?

Actually, now that you do the math, $400 per person is...not that horrendous.
I mean, horrendous, but I can see easily how to do that at restaurants I've eaten at.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That just boggles my mind, but paying $40 for dinner is expensive for me.

I've dropped some serious cash on sushi, and there wasn't even a bottle of wine involved, so I retract my former suggestion. $400 per person isn't even half a game of chicken.

This is what I'm saying. Of course it's a shitload of money, but if you are running up the bill on purpose with wine, it can go pretty fast.

Yeah, $400/person in a relatively upscale restaurant means they didn't read the whole wine list.
(Obviously I haven't seen the show, but I have been in restaurants with $1000 bottles of wine on the menu, and a table of 5 could finish off 3 bottles over the course of a meal without even trying that hard.)

They mentioned having 4 Opus Ones. If I heard right.

I went to the opening of the Opus One winery.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Two hundred dollars is the most I`ve ever spent on a meal, and that was for two people. But I`m a lightweight so that was only one bottle of wine. But it was delicious everything local, organic. I had antelope. Nom.
