I guess these days this is considered moderately priced. Is that the general consensus? How high does the check average have to be before the joint's considered expensive?

I keep wondering how everyone considers Bergamot moderately priced, and how it's not just for a special occasion. When I ate there a couple of months ago two of us spent over $100 with just 3 glasses of wine between us. When did this become moderately priced? The food was good, but not spectacular, Perhaps I was expecting too much because of the fuss, but that's just another way of saying that it's not all that fabulous. There are restaurants that you can get consistently great meals at that price.

last time I was at Anthony's, about a dozen years ago, attending a banquet celebrating a christening, we had a choice of chicken or fish. I ordered one, my wife the other, but when they arrived we couldn't tell which was which.

The bar at Casablanca is very pleasant and they have a wide array of Mediterranean-inspired small plates.
