Answer 3

by then it becomes an art, otherwise really expensive ingredients were used to make that meal you just ate  

Answer 4

its an art at that point. i know a place where a meal can be 1500 and its 16 courses yet each course is like a bite. that 1500 also includes wine tasting too i beleve.

Answer 5

The price goes into ingredients, presentation, atmosphere & prestige of the restaurant & chef.

All the fine dining restaurants I've worked in have given decent sized portions. I've seen many a guest take home doggie bags.
