Most expensive restaurant meal you've had

[DemPGH]

I've been pretty well able to avoid ridiculous dinner bills, but most recently a final wedding rehearsal dinner probably ran around $160 or so for my share, and that was with drinks. I had wine first, grilled salmon, a 750 ml bottle of wine, which I shared, and dessert that I think I shared.

A time or two I've dropped a pretty outrageous hotel bill - one was seaside and another was an historic hotel out west. It was in the middle of summer in the middle of the week, and I was seriously the only person on the second floor. It was a very nice stay - one of my best hotel experiences ever. What was really nice was it was like three days after a big biker rally ended - they hadn't stayed in the hotel, but they were in town, and undoubtedly the area would have been crowded and noisy with them around.
