im in new york..has to be per se..290 per person..french cuisine..you can order some bottles of wine for 10 grand
 
not open anymore I don't think, but LA use to have this place called I believe The Orchard. I ate there about 18 years ago. You had to make reservations months in advance. They didn't even have a menu, you called and spoke directly to their 1 chef and told him what you wanted. Whatever you asked for he'd make it. I had some of the best Mac & Cheese ever there, it did cost more than a Kobe steak in Vegas though lol.

Unless they've had a major price cut, Masa NYC is way more expensive than Per Se. It's rare to walk out of there spending less than $500/pp before alcohol, and $700 plus is more typical. I'm pretty sure the "base" omakase meal is $750 before any upgrades (kobe beef with truffles @ $120, etc).
 
You would have to ask some 0.25%ers. There's always little comments in articles about truly rich people spending $3-4k on lunch. Of course, us normal folks have no clue where those places are.
 
In the 90's, I went to New York City's oldest steakhouse.

In came four obnocious young wall street types. One of them was loud to ask the waiter, 'what's your most expensive steak?'

The waiter answered, that is the Kobe steak, and gave him the price.

Very quietly, he said, 'what's your second most expensive?'

The wealthy generally hire private chefs who cook meals in their homes.

Usually the top places are the opposite. Prix Fix menu based on which ingredients are freshest/best and what original creation the chef comes up with. IIRC the big thing now is using sustainable local ingredients and creating interesting dishes from that.

Pretty sure El Bulli is closed now. Would have been pretty fun to go when they were open.

Per Se and French Laundry are both owned by the same guy and I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be on pretty similar standing.

I imagine its probably one of the 3 Michelin star places:

I'm going to paris in a couple weeks, so thought I might try making a reservation at one of the restaurants. Holy crap, Alain Ducasse's place is not cheap. 35Euro for dessert! Guess we'll go with simpler foods. I'm definitely not a 1%er.

Yup, unless you set up private dining most "high end' places now have very small menus (2-4 items available per course) but they charge a flat prix fix price with possibly a supplement for obviously premium items. For example a $100 per person prix fix price with a $25 dollar addition if you get steak instead of lamb roast, and those will be the ONLY entrées on the menu.
 
El Bulli was not that expensive, TFL was far more expensive from a pure food/drink perspective. I thought ADNY was the most expensive restaurant in New York when it was open, but now maybe it is Per Se?
