The farewell luau at TV Palo Alto was a good example. $50 a head with no drinks as a "sit down meal" is a special occasion amount of money to spend and I don't feel that it works for a DJ event. TV typically has solid food and I have/would spend that amount of money on a date when I can choose what I am eating/keep my leftovers. I have passed over several of TV's prix fixe style events because the cost of entry is too high and/or the limited choices weren't to my liking. Our typical trip to TV's is 3 drinks a piece at the bar and share some appetizers to keep costs down. That usually runs us a tab of $100+ with tax and tip already and the thought of adding another $100 to that scared me out of going.
