That's the truth.
depending on what area you are in and what restaurant it is,i can see some tabs like that.Like you said in south beach im sure nothing is cheap there.New York also has some of the most expensive restaurants around and i know anyone can run a bill up there just by having fun at dinner with your group.
I was at my local hangout, a bar / restaurant , hanging at the bar with a few friends. A soldier came in holding a baby with I'm guessing his wife and one of their mothers. They went into the back area where there are tables. I called the waitress over and told her I was picking up the tab for the soldier and his party. She asked me on at least 3 different occasions if I was sure. The tab came to over $300. As it turns out, the soldier was home from Iraq for his fathers funeral and there were already about 20 people back there before he came in. The lady with him was his mother. She came out to the bar in tears to thank whoever it was that paid. Best $300 plus I've ever spent.
