A customer was left with an eye-watering bill after misreading the menu at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Paige visited the 57-year-old chef’s steakhouse in Atlantic City with his girlfriend to celebrate the world opening up following the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

To mark the special occasion, he wanted to treat himself to American Wagyu beef but once he looked at the menu, Jeffrey noticed the Triple Seared Japanese A5 – which is known as Kobe and considered to be the best cut of beef available.<\/p>\n

However, the man made a mistake as he assumed that it would cost him $35 for four ounces of Kobe – which to him was an irresistible offer compared to the $84 he was going to spend on eight ounces of Wagyu.<\/p>\n

So Jeffrey went for it and ordered the Japanese steak, not realizing that it was way more expensive than he believed.<\/p>\n

“I had never had real deal Kobe,” he said, per The Mirror<\/a>. “It was like nothing else you\u2019ll ever have. Melt in your mouth delicious. We also ordered a couple of sides and appetizers, and my girlfriend had Chef Ramsay’s famous beef Wellington for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

“All in all an amazing meal and we were glad we could support the restaurant and its staff during these challenging times. And I still couldn’t believe Kobe was cheaper than Wagyu!”, he said, before adding: “Or so I thought.”<\/p>\n

However, despite eating every bite of the delicious meal, Jeffrey was left shocked after learning that it was not the bargain he had thought once the bill had arrived.<\/p>\n

So he and his girlfriend looked at the menu again and that’s when she discovered that it was $35 for an ounce of Kobe and not per four ounces – meaning the bill totaled more than $600!<\/p>\n

Many Reddit<\/a> users took to the comment section to share their reactions to the eyewatering price, with one user writing: “If this doesn’t put you in dire financial straits and you aren’t unemployed\/starving\/behind bills… F***IN WORTH IT.”<\/p>\n

“One should experience extravagance at least once in every reasonable aspect of life. Because why the f*** not. I could be dead tomorrow and unlike you, I have no idea what it is like to demolish 12oz of A5. You do. Good for you, man. I hope you savored it. No regrets,” they added.<\/p>\n

Another said: “That’s pretty common at super high-end places. You gotta be real careful.”<\/p>\n

A third remarked: “Holy s***. I thought my $60 for the wife and I was a bit much. Guess I am more broke-a** than I realized if you considered it reasonable based on what you originally understood the price to be. Well, hope you enjoyed dinner. I woulda been s****ing a brick and asked them where the dirty dishes were so I could get started washing them.”<\/p>\n

Despite the Triple Seared Japanese A5 milking his bank account dry, Jeffrey took full ownership of the mistake and told the publication that he regretted nothing.<\/p>\n

“My family and I are huge Gordon Ramsay fans, we watch his shows – Hell\u2019s Kitchen, Masterchef – and I’ve been to his restaurants before and loved everything we’ve gotten,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The steak and the experience were unforgettable, and if I had to make this blunder at any restaurant in the world, I\u2019m glad it was at Chef Ramsay’s,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
