I realize that living in Hawaii, we have to pay more for everything; $4.37 for a tank of gas the other day, $8.00 for a loaf of good french bread, $6.00 for a carton of eggs...We don’t like it but we‘re not going to live here forever.
But this one really takes the cake. Last night my husband was staying in Honolulu at the new Disney resort. He’s attending a conference. He had dinner in the hotel’s restaurant; a small steak, a salad and a glass of wine. $90.00!!!!! It’s criminal.
There’s an Italian restaurant down the street from our house. We eat there a lot when we don’t feel like cooking. The other night I had a small serving of pasta that included 3 scallops, we shared an order of fried calamari, He had a seafood stew and we each had a glass of wine and then we shared tiramisu for dessert. We paid over $100. It’s not a fancy place either. Just a run of the mill Italian restaurant.
What’s considered a moderate priced restaurant meal for you where you live?
Hmmmmm....
Probably around $60 for dinner for 2 is moderate. That would be steaks or ribs with a beverage.
$90 for one does seem a bit outrageous tho!!!!!!!
Small steak, salad, potato and glass of wine for one would not be over $20-$25 around here.
Even in Hawaii, there is no excuse for that as Hawaii produces a surprising amount of beef for a bunch of islands.
Wow that is crazy expensive! Here in my area it would cost about 60$ for two.
Well, he fessed up that he included a dozen raw oysters in that dinner, but still....
My boss’ son is one of the owners of a new restaurant here, The Monkeypod. It’s really good. She told me they are putting one in at the hotel Joe stayed the other night because people have been complaining about the food prices there.
That is really high. In our area it will be 55.00- 70.00 for two including beverages.
I donot know so I am asking, are the salaries over there really high?
A moderately priced meal would be about $75 for 2 including drinks.

When Phil and I go out to a restaurant (as opposed to a diner of which there are so many of here in S Jersey) We pay about $75. For a good meal...usually Italian,with beverages.
Baby! let me tell you we do the two for $20.00 at certain restaurants here lol, it is getting to be a bit shameful in my opinion how some ofthese places try to kill you at the pocket just to eat out.
Applebee’s
Friday’s
Logan’s
Red Lobster
Red Robin
Long Horn Steak House
Chili’s
Chammp’s
J. Alexander’s
Merriweather’s
just to name a few of our favorite eat spots.
A nice entree steak seafood would average around $35 per person then you would add in appetizers, drinks etc...
