I don't think it has really impacted how my wife and I tend to dine out or where we go necessarily. While prices have gone up in some cases, in and around us in Davis Square, we are lucky to have about 5 to 10 places where we can get a full dinner meal (with tip) for under $36. If we are going out to a nice dinner, we almost always earmark about $200 to $250 (with tip) for those expensive restaurants. We also only go out for 2 to 3 meals a week (including lunches, happy hours, etc.) so when we DO go out we usually don't hold back regardless of the price... we get what we want or what looks the best to us. - Greg Wehn
