Diner outraged after he had to buy $3,750 bottle of wine when he asked waiter to recommend one (but he did get a $1,200 discount)

• Joe Lentini asked the waitress at Bobby Flay Steak in Atlantic City for a wine recommendation for a business dinner
• He and other diners thought the waitress said the bottle was 'thirty-seven fifty' and assumed that meant $37.50
• When they received the bill, they found out that the wine was actually a $3,750 bottle
• The restaurant dropped the price after the party complained - to $2,200

What an idiot

I wouldn't have paid that. There was an obvious mis-communication on behalf of the staff for assuming that someone would have inferred what they meant as such. That's ridiculous.

Anyway, sticking to by wine bottles under $10. They do the job and don't break the bank. I'm a cheap bitch. I like my cheap wines. They taste better than the fancy **** anyway.

What the hell with Bobby? ugh

On what planet? Anything under 50 tastes like piss

Then sign me up for the Golden Showers club because piss must taste amazing out of a wine bottle.

OMG, like it's a business meeting and IN WHICH RESTAURANT in the tri-state area a normal person would think that there's a 37,50 BOTTLE of red wine? Like srsly?

They need to be sued... and I kinda hate it when ppl act like them, they obvi don't know the 1st thing about wine, but when they consumed all of it, they had problem... like such wine wouldn't taste like a $40 bill. bye

I wouldn't of paid it

That's a case of serious mis-communication

Horrible service.

The communication was horrible.

$3 coke tho

You could go to court for this as this is a unfair commercial practice.
The waiter should've reassured that the man wanted that bottle as it was that expensive. It's not a product the average person could easily afford to purchase. Had he told the man the price again he wouldn't have bought it aka there's an omission to provide information from the waiter's side.

I would've slapped $40 on the table and said keep the change. Dafuq?

It's the waitress' fault tho. She said 'thirty-seven fifty'.

I saw that too. What kind of overcharge

Such a contradictory argument.

Yes, obviously they didnt know the first thing about wine (like 99% of people who actually drink it) and so they were not seasoned to tell if the bottle was worth $40 or 100x that. The differences are subtle. Of course they had a problem with it.

It's the waiter's fault, for such a price tag, you should not communicate a price in the thousands as simply "thirty seven, fifty". She is missing the word "HUNDRED" in there, a pretty large emission.

I would have broke it over her head did she think they were from Goldman Sachs?

Someone loves him some vinegar I see.

Death at them still having to pay over $2000 for it even tho it was the waiters fault lol
