If this is the case, let the free market come up with a even cheaper test and open the damn economy.

Nothing says fine dining like starting off your meal with a $50 nasal swab.

Idiots

This almost sounds like the Babylon Bee.

Gee, I wonder what the four hundred and seventeen problems are with this “plan”.

$50.00 cover charge.

Yup, that’s upscale.

Sounds racist

We are all lepers now.

Do you get a food credit if you are negative

[Jaysin]

IF, and I stress IF, I was so inclined to eat out there, I’d flip the Ecuadorian tester $10 to avoid the test.
He’d gladly comply

capitalism at it’s finest

[Regulator]

Great way to run yourself out of business.

[plain talk]

This idea of requiring a test before dining is ridiculous but IF a venue requires a covid-19 test then the venue should pay for it. It’s the cost of doing business.

Get some friends .... have each one bring a dish & fine bottle of wine - rotate houses or if you have someone willing to ‘host’ on a regular basis, do that. This will be cheaper than $50/person before you even get to a table - the food will likely be better, too.

I do not go out to eat any more. Tired of paying prices (that would keep me in groceries for a week) for food that is nothing special if not marginal, not prepared in a healthy way, & paying a price for a glass of wine that would otherwise buy an entire bottle of wine that is decent. Service is usually pretty not-so-great either.

YMMV

What medical credentials do the restaurant management and staff hold?

[Veggie Todd]

If the results are negative, the guests can go in — though they’ll still have to follow standard regulations such as wearing a mask and social distancing.

Why would they have to wear a mask and s.d.? They DON'T have the Rona. Idiots.

[asinclair]

So much for adding a tip. I wouldn’t be in a party of eight or more so adding the mandatory gratuity to the bill is right now.

[varyouga]

There is a false negative rate of 20% or so. While false positives are near impossible.

Rapid tests are an OK way to see if one person is positive but a very poor way to ensure everyone in a room is NOT

[IgnorerOfLiberals]

I can get 3 boxes of Franzia for that much.

[Chode]

i live in real wine country, and nobody, is that stooopid...

[FrdmLvr]

So a hundred bucks a couple before you even get in the door, for the privilege of buying dinner from them? No thanks, I don’t think so. I’ll go to Papaya King for a dog and a shake.
