I went to a Japanese steak house-Mikata- with a female friend and we order.
eyes being like they are and they keep it so that night vision goggles are appropros, i scan the hibachi menu and see that the prices go up as i scan down. so i order a steak meal, guessing it is like 16.95 and i am talking away with my friend.

i got my bill and i see it is for 54 dollars and change. tip not yet added.

i had accidentally ordered the Kobe beef. i paid for it, since i ate it, but i was so red from embarrassment.

oddly enough, this was the same woman that years back, right after high school, i took her on a date to a small restaurant and with 50 dollars in the wallet, i didn't have enough money to cover the tip- and that was after we ordered the cheapest entrees on the menu. she is either a jinx at dinner or i am a klutz. any one else mess up like this in an eatery?

 

What was the embarrassing part, that you ordered something so expensive?

 

Is it Mikata or Mikatos? Mikatos in Huntsville is the best.

 

So.. how was the steak? Was it worth $54 (in terms of the quality)?

 

It is MIKATA. and the embarrassing part was me trying to do something i couldn't in a dimly lit place and didn't ask for help and wound up with (to answer your question) really nice, medium well kobe beef.
54 bucks is a lot to pay for pride, ya know.

and it has been a while, but my first Japanese steak house ever was a KOBE in Birmingham. even the tofu rocked.

 

Yeah, I still don't get it. You're embarrassed for ordering something expensive without knowing and didn't ask for help in reading the menu? If so, I don't really seeing as that's embarrassing.

 

The only way I mess up in a eatery is by not eating all my food. Nah man, always bring more than enough money, espicially on a date.

 

I believe he has some eyesight problems which when combined with the dimly lit restaurant made the menu difficult to navigate.

 

This is why I always wear a miner's helmet to nice restaurants.
