Your point is well taken. When a menu item is a "special" such as the old "blue plate special" we used to order at diners, it does imply that we are getting value for our dollar. But I don't think that you came in a place like Niko's looking for a good deal as much as a good meal. Obviously the issue here is one of expectations. You thought the waitress was representing the menu item as being "on special" instead of a different item altogether. A misunderstanding, but I don't think it amounts to an indictment of fine dining restaurants as a whole. By the way, if you want great mediterranian food in Spokane - go to the White House Grill in Post Falls. Their specials aren't on the menu so you ought not to have this problem in the future. Happy Dining.
