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.

| Dinner menuClassic tasting menu, 7 courses | $165 | $213 | $330 | $426 |

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.
