Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.

    dinner for two with appetizers, entrees, desserts,

    Why on earth would someone go out for dinner, have two starters, and then jump to dessert? 😂

      Just in case this isn’t a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, “entree” is synonymous with “main course”. I know, I know. That’s not what entree means. But the fact remains.

        Where im from ive never heard of that, entree is usually a starter snack to hold you over till the food is done. But this could also be a regional thing still.

            Ive never heard of that, and Im from SoCal. Shouldve made it clear im from the US but yeah never heard of folks calling an entree the full meal.

              I am from Texas and have lived in several states in the eastern half of the US. “Entree” on a menu has always been the main dish in my experience. You also frequently see it used that way on recipe websites. This is the first I’ve heard that entree has a different meaning elsewhere. Merriam Webster has a bit of background info on how that came to be.

      Huh? This might be a different wording thing. In the US, entree is another word for main course. So the meal I am illustrating is for two, has two starters, two main courses, two desserts, four drinks in total.

        Where the hell are you getting all that for a hundred bucks? I don’t even think you could get that kind of meal at Chili’s for that price.

          I was trying to find what would generally be considered a minimum price in most places. Sadly these days, dinner for two is more like $120 to $150
