In Response To Cody's Post Atmosphere vs. Food In Restaurants

In his post Cody takes a look at the restaurant industry. He says that today in restaurants what you pay for most of all is the atmosphere, not the food. Personally I would have to agree with him. Cody outlines several examples of paying for atmosphere rather than food in his post. Such as paying more at restaurants that are in the city or on the beach. Restaurants can even get by sometimes with average food as long as the atmosphere makes up for it. Although I think it's true that when going out to eat we pay more for the atmosphere or experience than the food, I think there is reasoning behind it. Restaurants in good locations need to spend more on their taxes and/or rent, therefore they need to cover these costs by increasing the price of their.

What is your opinion on this topic? Do we spend more on food or the atmosphere/experience when going out to eat?
