I would be amazed if you could get that price for that domain. It's 2 words, but they don't really 'speak' to me. I think you are overvaluing it based on your idea. What you must realize about domain selling (passive domain selling that is) is that it is a probability game. Big portfolios passively sell maybe 2% of their portfolio per year. They also charge much higher price than the liquid rate.

If you wanted to sell that domain right now, I would say $50-100 if you were to offer it to resellers.

However, if you go into active selling mode and contact potentially interested parties... the price can go higher. This depends entirely on your ability to sell and your network. I have no idea who you are, perhaps you are wolfgang puck and know every restaurateur and can sell it for a few grand no problem. However, based on where this is, I am going to say you're a programmer and probably don't have a deep network of restaurateurs.

So the question you have to ask yourself... how much time are you willing to spend on selling it and what is the price you would be satisfied at? If I am looking to liquidate generally I would find maybe 10-20 businesses and contact them, my reply rate is 5-10% on average. I take what I can get, I am dumping it anyways. Emotional attachment to domains lowers your chance of making a sale.
