What is Too Expensive??????
Now that I have my own “space”, I want to re-hash a subject that continues to come up.
How could anyone of sound body and mind think Trinity is expensive?????? compared to Burger King, McDonald’s, etc.. yes. Come on people, what planet are you from? Do you live in Fantasy-land Township? I dare anyone to find another restaurant with that atmosphere and that quality food for the same price.
Yes, I’m upset. Yes, I take it personally. I think these people have been hitting the crack pipe way too often. Where do they go and eat for less in the same environment??? Maybe its the same people who come in with 25$ gift certificates and “abuse” the privilege. They don’t tip on original amount, leaving less than 5 dollars at times!!!!!!!!!! Can u imagine? A meal that would normally cost, say, 60$ is now 35$ and they tip 5$ if the server is lucky….Had a guy come in last night and bought 2 entrees with a 25$ g.c. It was just him, a kobe hamburger and risotto, i think the bill was 10$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What planet am I on? Reminds me of the lady who would come into Solo for lunch, buy a side of meatballs, and ask for extra bread. Guess what what she did? Made sandwiches…….The third time she came in, we charged her $7 for the bread.
On another night, we went out for Chinese food(well, american/chinese). Pu-Pu for 2, pork chow fun, moo shui pork, spicy eggplant and two small side of pork fried rice(yes, i like pork). Total was $42 plus tax and tip. Is this too expensive? I don’t believe so. When we ate at a “famous” chef’s namesake place in Pt. Plesant a couple of years ago, it was hardly a bargain, $23 I remember for a chicken breast, not even organic, served with greens and sauce.
While this all may be subjective, some people need to get out more……..

Trinity is a very good value for the quality of the food and the creativity used in the unique dishes served there. It is not a “bargain” restaurant, but I would think anyone walking in the place would realize that just looking around. As I have said in the past (and been thrown off other sites as a result) the quality of the food speaks for itself. The prices are very fair in my view. I have eaten just about everything and am working my way through whats left.

No, you’re not missing anything…considering the fact that you get a great bread basket and salad and then the entree with an IMAGINATIVE side (huge in my opinion, SO tired of steamed string beans and/or “fried” mashed potato, what we call a “hockey puck”)…is it cheap? no (as it shoud not be). But is it overpriced or “expensive”, considering all the components involved as well as the quality? Absolutely not. I’ve been to higher priced restaurants locally and in the middle of our meal we wished we were at Trinity instead – the people and food and are just better! And that is what keeps us coming back.
