High end restaurants have great food. What you're really paying for though is the privilege of staying for the entire evening. You're paying for three meals.

No, this seems to be a mostly north american problem.... i've never been rushed to GTFO in europe or asia, no matter high or low end

I have been asked to leave in Denmark (Madklubben). But they have reservations for early and late evening, so you have exactly two hours to eat and gtfo. It's reasonably priced, just don't have too much fun...

You can do that at a regular restaurant, too (without being an asshole), if you’re working on something or an EMT on duty or something like that. Just tell them what’s up ahead of time, don’t do it on a Saturday night if possible, and be prepared to tip a lot on a relatively small bill.
