No way. These days I’d say $500

Sorry I missed European somehow. Agree on $300 max

This. I think most European countries would be quite surprised by a $500 dinner bill.

Companies, not countries!

yeah but this sort of thing is more expensive there

Actually it is not. Have been spending lots of time in European capitals lately and am consistently shocked at how cheap restaurants are compared to DC. The inflation here has been insane, but EU nice restaurants stayed flat apparently and now much lower than here. Colleagues in EU were shocked to hear some of the average DC prices. And this is in pricey Western EU.
