OK - gotta mention this... notice the thread title revolves around "2 Credit Lunch"? Did not see much mention of the QUALITY of this (theoretically) "Signature" restaurant?
....so I agree with you

. But for different reasons. LC deserves to charge what they will - when the time actually comes that they achieve Signature status. Until then? Yes, they are grossly overpriced. Personal opinion - they are still stuck in a "make money" pit, rather than a "real sig that gets crowded because of the excellent food" paradigm.
I think the "two credit" issue is secondary. When is LC going to LIVE UP to it's categorization?
