In USD, before tax and tip. The table adds the 29% usually added for tax and tip, an estimate (the restaurant’s bill is what counts), and the cost for two.

Every figure is for one guest and excludes sales tax, which varies by city (8.875% in New York City, for example), and tip, which is usually 18–22%. Many restaurants add a set service charge instead of a tip, and some San Francisco restaurants add a small surcharge for staff health care. Supplements such as caviar or truffle courses are left out.
