I would expect it to be higher than that and I think Red Sauce is being more than fair.

Villages restaurant pay the developer very high lease costs which is passed down to consumers.

Cut out the Mimosas and you can still eat reasonably. Drinks out are overpriced and typically not that good. Have a cocktail at home first, then go out to eat and have a glass of water.

It's not INFLATION, it's CORPORATE GREED! OIL COMPANIES have record profits, along with other consumer product producers. Do some legitimate research!

This is why they raised the cost of brunch. People come to a buffet and feel compelled to eat enough food to make sure the restaurant loses money. Sounds like you ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sadly people will also stuff food in gallon baggies stashed in their oversized empty purses.

Since going to a meat diet I have lost 20lbs. If you read what I eat it is almost all protein. The only thing I ate Sunday for a total of 1000 calories. So my stomach is doing just fine.

all that and the food isn't even all that good either. We stopped going after they lifted it from $20 as that was even over priced for what they offered.

The reason eggs have gone up so much is the chickens have joined a union. Their living and working conditions have really improved. Not to mention no more quotas.

Right. The Developer does not charge high lease prices. What they charge are lease prices that are typical for prime real estate in a limited access area with wealthy patrons.
