Umm ... no, imho, you were being very polite in suggesting a place that almost anyone could afford. To me, it is rude to assume that everyone that frequents the same online forum makes the same gross quantities of cash that Brewery Dude clearly makes--or wants to lend the impression that s/he makes.
Bobby and I make decent money and can afford a $50 dinner every now and then, but when we meet up with a group, we'll always suggest a less-expensive place unless we know that everyone can--and is willing--to go to a more expensive restaurant. And it's hardly something that you can ask, even to people you know well: "Can you afford this place?" And beyond that, hardly something that people are going to answer honestly.
So yep, I say again: fuck that. :^P
(And I love your Patrick-Stewart-for-every-occasion icon line! Never fails to amuse me! :^D)
