Scoozi's - Howe Street
Scoozi's is a Mediterranean restaurant I pass by every week. The patio juts out on a relatively busy sidewalk filled with tourists and business people walking up and down with the obligatory beggar occupying the corners.
I've always wanted to try the restaurant. Finally decided to visit on a Friday afternoon. Outside was full, so we went inside.
The skinny on this place is that while it's a nice restaurant with decent food, a personable host and wait staff, it's a tourist trap. The prices are much too high. The bill for 3 people topped out at $71. I had 2 beers and only an appetizer - tzakziki with pita ($6.99) as I had lunch elsewhere.
My colleagues had pasta. Their bills were much higher than mine.
We were not impressed.

Despite being a sensitive guy who feels the pain of others, I confess to not feeling your pain at your having to pay so much for what you ate at Scoozi's, since the prices would have been shown on the menu.
I mean, if the price was too high for you, why didn't you just leave and go somewhere else?
And, seeing as you ate only an appetizer, whereas your two buddies ate pasta, which I assume was a main dish, it should have come as no surprise to you that their bills were higher than yours.
