"We tend to associate premium pricing with exceptional quality, superb taste, and five-star service, but that's unfortunately not always the case. It can feel like a sad attempt at a cash grab at times, especially if the experience is underwhelming, even though the price point should reflect otherwise. One name that comes up in this conversation is Peter Luger, a pricey New York City steakhouse chain that doesn't live up to its legacy - according to more recent reviews, at least."
"It's not just this one review, though. Even online message boards, social media posts, and food blogs are littered with people expressing their disappointment with the chain. Other folks weren't too pleased with the inconsistent quality of the dishes, while some targeted its below-average service (and that's putting it nicely). These might be forgivable for a casual counter service, but not at a restaurant where you're expected to spend $100 or more."
Premium pricing often suggests exceptional quality, taste, five-star service, but that expectation can be unmet. Peter Luger, a long-standing New York steakhouse since 1887, faces criticism for failing to live up to its legacy. The restaurant lost Michelin stars and drew a harsh New York Times review questioning the quality of its steak. Patrons on message boards, social media, and food blogs report disappointment, inconsistent dish quality, and below-average service. Such shortcomings are especially problematic given per-person costs often exceeding $100. The storied porterhouse no longer guarantees the crowd-pleasing experience it once did, eroding the restaurant's reputation.
