Yeah that's pretty great. It really depends on the people. People just have different tastes, and it's not just a cost thing. Of my parents & in-laws, really only my father in law would probably genuinely be able to enjoy going somewhere we chose. My mother in law and parents would probably actively dislike going.. About 10 years ago I stopped trying with certain things.. My parents anniversary one year we treated them to brunch at a place that's like.. not fancy, but wear a polo shirt & not sneakers.. but also its NYC so if you don't they aren't gonna kick you out anyway. Nothing adventurous food wise - chicken, steak, burger, pancakes, fries, eggs, whatever you imagine standard fare but done very well. It was clear they weren't enjoying it, and in a subsequent anniversary dinner they insisted we all go out to the place they chose - fried fish & laminated menus at a marina type thing.
