grgich said:I can't see a "no-sharing" rule, but I can see a "plate sharing" charge. The plate sharing is usually only applied to an "entree" that is shared, not to appetizers and desserts. Not sure how it would work if you only ordered appetizers or desserts? I've seen plate sharing charges ranging from $5-$10, and usually only in more expensive/exclusive restaurants.
Exactly, it's usually only in exlusive restaurants. Mama Melrose's is about the same price as an Olive Garden (at least up here). I can't tell you how many times I have shared with my DD13 or my DD10. They even plate it in the kitchen on seperate plates without me asking. They don't even charge us extra for the salad that they know both of us are going to eat, although, given, my DD's don't eat a lot. If I told them that I didn't think we were allowed to share a dinner, they would laugh me out of the building!
Now, at Citricos, that's a different story. It's an "exclusive" restaurant. It's kind of fancy and more expensive. I wouldn't be shocked at all if they did(edited, I had put didn't) charge a plate sharing fee. In fact, I would be shocked if they didn't. It's not your typical family restaurant with a $14 plate of spag. on the menu.
