No, I don't believe many would pay $175+ often enough to make an upscale restauant want to come here. The 100+ restaurants in TV are, for the most part, pretty mediocre, but it is possible to get a wonderful breakfast or lunch at some of the mom & pop places both in and outside TV. It's really a matter of what someone likes to eat, and with people here from all over the country, its just too subjective. I end up cooking almost every evening. Not arguing, and not claiming to have a sophisticated palate, but I know what I like and rarely find it at a restaurant here.
