Man Outraged After Being Charged $100 Minimum At River North Restaurant
When Howard Tolsky went online to book a dinner, he immediately started losing his appetite.
CHICAGO (CBS) —When Howard Tolsky went online to book a dinner at Steak 48, at 615 N. Wabash Ave. near the Mag Mile, he immediately started losing his appetite for any experience there. It was all because there was a $100 minimum for himself, his wife, his and mother-in-law — each, per person. The restaurant says the rule went into effect early last month, coming off of longstanding limited-capacity indoor dining because of COVID.
“I figured, well, we’re not going to spend $300,” Tolsky said. “We might spend $250. But I don’t want to spend $300 dollars on a meal that costs $250.”
