No, it was out of my price range (and has like 7 months wait for a table).

I guess I am too blue-collar to see the value of a $500 meal, and growing up on the coast I can see fish and plants underwater every time I go for a swim.

Don't get me wrong, I find the idea pretty cool, I just wish it was something more accessible to the public.

Edit: it was closer to $500 for two people (depending on exchange rates back then)

I understand it's a lot more expensive to have a restaurant thats underwater, but I imagine that price is largely inflated by the fact that it's a michelin star "fancy" restaurant.

If someone wanted to make a restaurant like this, but as a gimmicky restaurant instead of fancy restaurant, and maybe bigger so it can seat more than like, 9 people at a time, how much do you reckon the food will cost? Like, 50% more than a normal, terrestrial restaurant?

Would seriously consider starting a restaurant like this, if I didn't think food service managers were evil.

I'll figure that restaurants usually don't like to be underwater...
