The Price Hike: Atera

Now at Matthew Lightner's two-Michelin star NY restaurant Atera, the tasting menu is $195, up $30 from the previous price. A meal for two now costs $503 ($799 with beverage pairings) inclusive of tax and gratuity, putting it "on the same pricing level as Eleven Madison Park and Blanca." In 2010, Lightner's tasting menu at Castagna in Portland was a mere $95 per person excluding pairings and tip. [The Price Hike]
