Do you enjoy going to restaurants where the entree's cost almost $50-$100+ and even the appetizer's are $20+ and you have to dress like a wall street investor so you don't get funny looks? Bonus points if they valet your car.

Eh... not so much. You can get great food in an environment that isn't stuffy and uptight.

True one of my favorite local places is just a hole in the wall Mexican place, cheap and tasty, but the building itself is uh...old and weird lol. I think there's something to be said for atmosphere sometimes, as long as it's not a constant.

Usually places charging these kind of rates already have some history and a customer base so that's a given usually.

Tried some a few times. It's not really worth it unless you're celebrating something with family or friends and just want something tancy.

Why would you do that unless it's free? Maybe if it's really quiet and you can stay there a while to be left alone but eh.

Nah, not at all. I used to go to Baltimore a lot growing up and there was a seafood place there that was kind of pricey, a bit more expensive than Red Lobster, but the portions and quality justified it. Seafood is just expensive in general though. Otherwise, i'd rather spend $18 on a steak at Outback opposed to $70 that tastes similar at some snobby joint.

I was honestly wondering if you would see this topic because I know you and the man's are always getting fancy. I believe you were from Montreal originally so probably a good introduction to that kind of dining the same way Vancouver was for me.

Nah. Been too a few nice steak houses and their steak tasted like everyone elses. Took a girlfriend to a few fancy places. One just upset me because it was some pretencious place where they serve something new every day and it's a bunch of tiny dishes that they just throw shit into to make it different.

Sounds like Le Jules Verne in Paris. My friend went there and said it was a bit of a waste because it was tiny ass portions dressed up just because.

I dont eat out at those places that often tbh.

We went to one nicer place in Vegas the first time we went where we all dressed up nice and whatnot, but thats like the only time I went to a fancy restaurant.

It did feel good to dress up though and look snazzy with others.

Yeah Montreal has some great restaurants that spoiled me. My husband was an American chain kind of guy but I introduced him to some nicer placers when we started dating. Its not something we do all the time (especially now) but fun for special occasions.

Vancouver is great too.

Botanist is really good, and Hy's are Gotham's are both excellent steak houses despite the insane prices.

i found something messed up about stuffy and uptight places @vigorm0rtis and I am surprised nobody tells others this.

do you wonder how said businesses stay open even though they treat all people going there like shit?

that is because they dont treat everybody like shit, they just treat like shit people they dont want to become regulars.

if Bill gates or bezos showed to your average stuffy place, do you think the host/hostess and the server would be acting stuff around them? Fuck no, they would be asking do you want me to juggle tomatoes over my head while you sip on your wine, dear sir?

if they think youre very rich and of the right profile (eg older than a certain age but not too old unless youre super rich, white, well dressed, have an attractive +1, etc) they will treat you real well.

its fucked up i know

I've gone to places like this solo and never had a problem as long as you're dressed decent.

Ruths Chris steak house is the shit. Porterhouse for 2 is about $100. Its legitimately 2 inches thick. Their sides which are ala carte, are really good too. Augratin potatoes...mmmm. I havent been in a few years cause they closed the one near me down, which coincidentally was the only one in the state...lol. Anyways, fuck yeah I love going there.

If youre dating a girl thats never been to a place like that, and you dress up, pull up, valet takes your car, walk in and they welcome you as Mr. soandso, and take you to your white table cloth table, and then put some of the best food down either of you have ever hadIve never not impressed a girl taking them to a place like that. They lust for the experience again constantly.

Ive always wanted to visit Vancouver! Its definitely on my list of places I plan to travel to. Ive never been anywhere else in Canada but Quebec/Montreal which is sad. Never been to Toronto either.

me too. This means you (and me) for the profile.

but if someone else went there theyd maybe have a hard time.

its the reason why you see that people have to dress up to get into certain clubs while celebs get in with sneakers and ripped jeans

I used to like going to nice steakhouses, and Houston as a fair number of them, but stopped doing it. Good food.
