Talking Sample Menus

OK, help me understand what you consider a "high end" restaurant. I would think that the prices in some of the Country Clubs would be pushing toward "high end" prices, but still affordable. Is it price, or is it a matter of ambiance and presentation of the meal?

Let's take for example the Lunch and Dinner menus and prices of one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. Please look at the food available and the prices and tell me if you consider this "high end" enough, or are you seeking something fancier.

Columbia Restaurant

And then take a look of one of the longest running and most successful steak houses in Tampa, and tell me if prices and presentations need to be at this level to be considered "high end."

Bern's Steak House - Our Steaks

Which, if either, would you be inclined to frequent regularly if they had a presence in The Villages? Incidentally, the Columbia is a Spanish Cusine restaurant (not Mexican or Tex-Mex.) Bern's Steak House also has excellent fresh seafood.
