I'll try to do the costs later--will make this a "best and worst" and what was included post.
We encountered essentially NO exceptions to the menus. The menus have been re-written to eliminate or re-categorize items which are not in the plan.
Teppanyaki
Children did not get appetizer from menu (no loss!) Everyone got "complimentary" appetizer of something that looked like seaweed and tasted good. All "entrees" and "combinations" were included in the plan. Lobster was moved to a section of "side items" which were not on the plan. Sushi has been moved to a "sushi menu" section which is not included. All desserts were included. Everyone got "complimentary" tea at the end of the meal. Non-alcoholic beverages included. NO Splenda available here.
We sat with a family of "2 adults, 3 children." My 15 year old commented that there was no way those "children" were under 10. THe kids were large--the youngest MIGHT have been 9, but no one at the restaurant questioned them. The chef did ask who was the oldest and who was the youngest. but did not ask ages. My dd asked the girl sitting next to her what grade she was in--girl replied 6th, and mother shot hate looks our way and told daughter not to talk to us!
My point here is that people were concerned about big 9 year olds--and I had one of those kids who has always been big for her age. The restaurant did not ask any questions of this family. I do not advocate lying about ages.
