Was going to say exactly this, places which specialise in something are definitely worth it, but most “generalist” places (there are some exceptions) don’t generally pass muster

I took your advice recently and tried Cin Cin in Hove, i do value your expertise on culinary offerings but i have to say it was rather disappointing

Mrs BC's fish pie was absolutely delicious last night. Better than any available in a restaurant.
We're eating out a lot less than we used to because of the cost and realisation that many of Brighton's restaurants have become mediocre or the portions are so small, you need to have the cheese course at home.

It is, but I prefer to cook for others. The journey home after is less hassle.
I hate eating at restaurants that have the tables practically adjourning the next one, you’re almost elbow to elbow

Are we talking about the Amex burgers?
I don't understand it but the Amex Burgers have got to be the worst on the planet. I am not a big burger eater but once having to rush down to the Amex after work, I was really, really hungry and the only thing I fancied was a burger, but when I got it, it was truly inedible, It didn't matter how hungry I was, it was awful.
My daughter tried one of those microwave burgers the other week and I tried a bit, it was not great, but it was 1000 times better then the Amex burger.

Perth seems to be the eating out capital of the world.
Shed loads of places to go and you can eat the world !!
It is still quite affordable too.
I have a meal at the club after bowls Friday practice, grab a takeaway of wifey's choice after the match on Sat and take the wife out to a place of her choice every Sunday for lunch.
Saturday is sometimes replaced with going out for dinner with friends.
We love it !

This is a shame. I have not been for a couple of years now. What disappointed you? A know that a common comment is portion sizes.

I can't begin to imagine what a £300 dinner would have to consist of for me to pay that much even if I were a multi millionaire. And I'm not.
I'm pretty certain there's nothing in the world I'd eat no matter how amazingly well cooked and presented in opulent/trendy surroundings that I'd pay that much for.
I actually find eating a chore, I probably wouldn't eat if I didn't have to, I don't eat vegetables and it's pretty much meat and potatoes (I know but they don't count) for me and I don't drink alcohol so that'll all be a factor too.
£300 I could spend better elsewhere.

Stopped eating out (except for special occasions) post-lockdown. Too many places serving food that I’d be unhappy with if I’d prepared it myself, at a hugely inflated price.
I simply couldn’t justify the prices vs what I was getting. A shame, because I used to enjoy a good restaurant, but I feel priced out of anywhere I’d actually want to eat at now.

Really enjoy eating out with my wife. As others have mentioned, the experience is diminished significantly if you’re elbow to elbow with another couple or group! The food to me is secondary. The one thing that can really aggravate me is shit service.

That is a shame. I've been there several times with both family and friends and always enjoyed it.
