The lunch was still good, along with the service, but 50%?...REALLY!!

You never did say what your “usual entree” is. The seafood risotto with lobster at $34? The Tomahawk steak at $69? The braised Alaskan Halibut or the Maine Lobster Tails with prices depending on what they cost at the fish market that day? It’s been well-publicized that last summer the price of lobster rolls in Maine doubled to in some cases over $30 for one, due to a shortage of healthy lobstermen. If for some reason the restaurant has to pay more for what you order, they have to eventually pass that on to you, and it makes sense to raise the price only on what has gone up in wholesale price so most prices stay the same. This is how prices work in a capitalist society. I’m happy that I live in one.
