No, my daughter and I do this all the time at Steakhouse 55. We do this because there are SO MANY great sides, and we want a little of everything. We usually start with a soup or salad each, split the steak, then add spinach, truffled mac and cheese, and a potato.Question, do any of the table service restaurants charge to split an entree? For example, if my friend and I want to split a large steak at Steakhouse 55 do they have an extra plate charge?
BB used to do that, and charged so they could double up on the appetizer (maybe the side?). Now it's a la carte so no need for a split plate charge. Now you have to buy the appetizer so feel free to buy two. Oy. This was a huge stealth price increase BTW).Blue bayou does if you have them do it, in my experience. They are adding sides to the other plate and they gave us more Portobello mushroom (vegetarian entree) than we would have had with one entree, so it’s a value-added option.

We rarely have room for dessert, but the desserts can be split too.
My daughter will frequently order off the kids menu, they usually bring an adult sized portion (and charge an adult price.)Will table service restaurants let adults order off the kids menu?

That’s fine with me. I don’t mind the price, just as a picky eater it’s hard for me to find something, but I still would like to enjoy the atmosphere of restaurants like Blue Bayou. The Monte Christo sounds like it might be ok but I’m not really sure what all comes on it. I just want meat, cheese, bread, and fries haha.

The Monte Cristo is meat, cheese, and bread, but then battered and fried. It's seriously amazing. Like a sandwich inside a donut. But better than that sounds. You'd have to order fries separately though, at least that's how it is at Cafe Orleans.
It has a berry puree for dipping (which is a fancy way of saying jam, haha) that is very good. I like that you get to decide how much of it you use vs having it already part of it.That does sound good. Doesn't it also have some kind of jam on it?
