The guy is complaining about a $3750 bottle of wine after ordering $950 in food. What did he think he was ordering?
This doesn't make sense.
Let's see...your at the Bobby Flay restaurant right off the casino floor in the Borgata ordering an $135 seafood tower and at least one order of lamb chops. There's a reason those expensive bottles are on that menu at that location. It's because they are ordered by NYC guys coming down to gamble in large amounts or host clients (think brokers trying to get business from hedge fund managers) they are looking to impress.
You're obviously trolling (lamb chops means you should expect to pay $4K for wine?) but just so you know, those seafood towers are usually priced for the number of people eating it. Usually about $35-$45/person and they'll give an appropriate amount of seafood based on what you tell them.
I'm not trolling...it's not like brokers don't take hedge fund traders and their teams to the Borgata to gamble and wine and dine. For all the server knew the host was asking his most important client to pick whatever bottle he wanted. That wouldn't be that out of the ordinary for that location.
I mean think of it this way, what type of bills do you think brokers run up taking traders to strip clubs in NYC?
Edit: my point is crazy bills/orders/drink purchases happen all the time when you are entertaining guests in the NYC-area restaurants. It's the reason all these places stock this stuff.
