Isn’t this how high end michelin restaurants work? You sit down, eat the chef’s daily menu, and drop a few hundred dollars per person. You are there for the art

  I believe it’s pretty common for prix fixe meals, or you’ll get a very narrow set of options.

  Ideally yes, although I think they end up cooking for the guide rather than their own tastes. There is a possibly apocryphal story that Marco Pierre White was once asked for a plate of Chips, so he hand cooked them and charged the diner something like £100 for his time.

  It happens in some. I think I read it was more popular in the 90s (at least in France) to have a single daily menu. Nowadays it is more likely there would be vegetarian or vegan options even if there is still a “single” menu. Plenty of places will have some set menus and also let people order à la carte

  It's standard practice at good sushi spots. Omakase.

  Some types, yes, although the service is at such a high level that they are usually accommodating far beyond what you'd expect. The restaurant might have a 7 course tasting menu with fixed items on it for example, but if you say you're allergic to shellfish, they'll often not just remove the shellfish from your dishes, but re-engineer or fully replace the dishes that contain shellfish so that what you're getting isn't any _less_ than what someone eating shellfish would be having.
