Out of whack art to value ratio

I think I just spent the last exorbitant amount of money on fine dining, I ever will, at least in Seattle. It just wasnt worth it!
$20. appetizers with 6 small spot prawns and a slab of calamari steak??
The sommelier took us to the cleaners, the wine was good but ouch..$16 a glass??
Pheasant cassoulet, tepid beans, a leg and a piece of sausage…
I thought the food was mediocre, the restaurant inside was chique and upscale.
I just regret dumping all that cash into an average, luke warm, scrawny portioned, vaguely seasoned, non impressive fare.
King crab legs with truffle gnocchi, no truffle flavor at all!!??$$$39
Service was ok although we had to wait 10 plus minutes for the server to come back so we could order a drink.
I would save my money and go elsewhere, despite its reputation, I was disappointed.
My first car cost 1/2 what we spent. I am not happy with this lapse of judgement .

Dishes I tried:

Spot prawns, crystal calamari
