He was quoted $23 to add the salmon. He was charged $23 for the added salmon. If salmon isn't a normal part of the menu for salad add-ons, then he was charged for a full portion of salmon - which is $23. He still had to pay for the salad. When adding a protein to a salad is part of a menu, the price is listed, or it'll say Mkt or MV (Market Value). I checked the Lighthouse menu online yesterday - salmon is not an add-on for that salad. And so - you just have to pay the full price for salmon, which is the $23 that he was quoted.

It sounds to me like he misunderstood that price, and assumed it meant that was the charge for the entire meal. The waitress did nothing wrong. The customer misunderstood. Or intentionally obfuscated the fact in the hopes of getting a free meal/discount/dessert out of it.
