You invalidated the complaint with that single statement though.
To explain - since I realize logic is not everyone's forte:
...
A valid argument might be "I can make BETTER for less, and so I shall."
If you know you can get something for less somewhere else, and that is your argument for complaining about the price of something, then - get it for less somewhere else. Or just accept that at THIS place, there's an add-on price of $23 for salmon. Lighthouse is not an inexpensive middle-quality chain restaurant.

I just have to chuckle at the logic is not everyone's forte statement embedded in this.
1. While you are correct that everything is cheaper at home, the fact that 1 point of support in an argument is moot does not invalidate an entire argument. But I realize logic is not everyone's forte.
2. Offering what you think is a valid argument when it is not the poster's point at all is simply irrelevant.

What??? The person wanted a ceasar salad with salmon, not a salmon dinner with a caeser addon. What about that is going cheap. I cannot begin to tell you how many times my wife has ordered a caeser salad with salmon or chicken. That is not going cheap. In fact, it is rare occurence when I have seen a caeser salad as a menu item when I have not seen the add on price for chicken, salmon or shrimp listed.
Then there are numerous posts about the price of salmon. While the poster, in the midst of being shocked and irritated, might not have quoted an accurate price of salmon, all of those posts are ridiculous. AT THE RESTAURANT IN QUESTION, a salmon dinner is $26 and with an addon caeser apparently $32. A Salmon berry salad for $28. (I am trusting the verious posters are accurate, I don't actually know). The person asked (or was trying to ask)what the price of the salad would be with salmon. The answer he received was $23. Why would anyone think the price would be $35?? Did they use extra-special salmon for his salad that cost more than all of their other salmon dishes?

Again, a caeser salad with add on of chicken or salmon is ubiquitous. This person did not invent some strange menu item or try to get something for nothing. I would bet the restaurant is asked that question multiple times per day.

Really people. Someone has had 2 complaints in 5 years and that makes them a troll, chronic complainer or having an agenda? Are you saying that 7000 post such as those using faulty logic repeatedly and accusing others of faulty logic somehow is better? 2 posts that make sense outweigh 7000 posts that don't by a huge margin.
Some people are pathetic. Use the info of the original poster however you want or not at all. If you go there often and enjoy it and have no issues, post something like "it sux you had a bad experience there, but I have had nothing but good experiences there." Then people can make their own judgement call. But I think some folks just like to try to appear better than others. Just so you know, for those of us with our eyes open and able to think, it's not working.
