This happened to my wife (well, girlfriend at that time) and me (yes,
'me' is correct here) in what is probably the most pretentious
restaurant in San Francisco -- the Carnelian Room high atop the Bank of
America building. (Not recommended, but that's a topic for a different
group.)

Anyway, given a menu with no prices, Alene was totally unable to decide
on what to get and we had to trade menus!  I think this practice, while 
once nice (if you are into the male-dominated macho so called 'chivalry'
game (totally unlike REAL chivalry, but THAT's a topic for another group))
is outdated.  WE always insist on identical menus now.  My having to interpret
the French manu is bad enough.
