>A typical sit-down restaurant is like $60 per person including tip/tax with an appetizer and drink.

Where do you live? We typically pay $30-$40 for a particularly nice night out at our favorite restaurant. Cheaper stuff runs more in the $10-$25 range. And we're in Boston!

Seems a bit low. Isn't a drink already $7 a beer, or $12 a cocktail there? That's $10 and $15 with tax+tip respectively, leaving very little for the entree plus appetizer...

If you're going to expensive gastropubs, sure, but not if you're in a proper neighborhood hole in the wall.
