The same goes for steaks, as much as I enjoy a good steak. For a $17 meal, I would rather have something I wouldn't normally be able to afford, or that I wouldn't normally get to try--something more edgy than seafood linguine--even if it meant forgoing an appetizer and/or dessert.

One of the huge problems with dining out can be tabulating the price and accidentally spending a bit to much when you consider all the little things you want to try. I'm definitely checking this out. Shelling out 50 dollars for two meals and a tip doesn't seem too out there if the restaurant in question is really world class. $17 for a high class meal sounds pretty savvy if you eat chicken, beef or fish.

Personally it sounds like a pretty great deal. It’s not just pasta – even in the $17 bracket there’s chicken and beef on the menu.

Never been to Galiano's but suite 701 and Narcisse are very nice...

I mean, who would pay $17 for pasta, even with an appetizer and dessert included? Also, why does this only happen in the Old Port when there are plenty of happening restos across town that could afford to reduce their rates for a few nights to let the starving artists check out their wares?
