[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Restaurants ate dying because DC sucks and iripoff.

Entrees are running $30, 40, 50, even 70 a pop.  Cocktails and wine glasses are costing $15-25 ea. $25 appetizers.   But the worst are the service fees, liveable wage fees, equity fees, whatever BS they tack on. They always conveniently calculate those fees after taxes too. Then they stand over you while paying and try to tell you those fees are not tips that go to the waiter, insinuating that you need to tip 20% more on top of all of that.  Ridiculous, I'm not paying 40% over price.

Even stupid burgers and tacos at fast casual places in DC tack on al these fees and expect tipping when you have to bus your own tables, get your own food, and get your own drinks. You can spend $60+ now buying a stupid lunch for 2 that are just tacos and drinks.

DC dining is a ripoff. It needs to all collapse and be re-started again once they readjust prices to be far more reasonable.  We almsot never go out in the city anymore because of the ridiculous prices and tipping/fee BS.  And now they want $25/h min wage yet will still.havr the gall to demand 20% tips when they are making min wage. Have fun spending $500 for a dinner for two at a medicore place.[/quote]

Ya know what holds its value even though it’s gone up? Five Guys. But you have to go in person to get the fries right out of the fryer. So good and ginormous portions. A family of 4 could split one regular fries. [/quote]
