Remember when appetizers typically cost $15-$25, with entrees in the $20 and $30 range? Based on my own experiences and owners\u2019 estimates, New Yorkers going out for a meal should be prepared to pay 20% more across the board.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot more than the 8.6% leap in consumer goods prices as reported\u00a0by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, resulting in a bill that can shock even fortunate expense account eaters. <\/p>\n<p>The escalation shows up in my every restaurant meal these days, from neighborhood diners to the priciest luxury spots. My usual party of four, accustomed to paying $400 before tip (including one cocktail or glass of wine each) for a \u201cmidrange\u201d dinner, now routinely coughs up $500.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The famous fusilli with braised octopus and bone marrow at Marea now costs $42.\" class=\"wp-image-22654918\" width=\"618\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1233 1236w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=925 927w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=618 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=308 309w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Marea_Fusilli_octopus.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\"\/><figcaption>The famous fusilli with braised octopus and bone marrow at Marea now costs $42.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Tamara Beckwith<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A delicious (but not very large) cut of halibut at Times Square\u2019s reborn Lambs Club weighs in at $50.

She and chef C\u00e9dric Durand raised the price of their 15 oz. ribeye steak by $5 to $34; most dishes have gone up 20% since the end of 2021.  <\/p>\n<p>Some operators hold the line on basic prices but find ways to tuck in less-visible increases. At many places I\u2019ve been, wine ordered by the glass fills less of the glass than it once did. Prix-fixe lunches now come with supplementary charges for items that previously came at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<p>But the sneakiest strategem to camouflage the blow is at Daniel Humm\u2019s all-vegan Eleven Madison Park, where the price of the prix-fixe menu hasn\u2019t changed, but $335 per person no longer includes, as it once did, the tip. Other restaurants are taking notice \u2014 David Chang\u2019s Momofuku Ko will unbundle gratuity from their prix-fixe as well, beginning July 1. Without an included gratuity, most customers will now pay at least 20% more. <\/p>\n<p>At EMP, that\u2019s 20% more for a meal without meat, fish or dairy, leaving some diners less than sated. A friend plunked down $450 for a recent dinner he described as \u201casparagus, fava beans, peas, tofu \u2014 yes, tofu \u2014 and morels. What a waste of money.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
