CONNECTICUT — Looking to impress your partner on the next date night? Well, we’ve got a restaurant for you. Though you'll probably have to clean up at the roulette table before paying the bill.

The Daily Meal named Mashantucket's own David Burke Prime at Foxwoods Casino the most expensive dining establishment in our state.

"The popular Foxwoods Resort Casino houses one of the best steakhouses in America, David Burke Prime," the article reads. "This Connecticut restaurant dry-ages steaks in a room lined with Himalayan salt, and if you want to sample one you’re going to have to shell out. They start at $56 (30-day rib-eye) and stretch up to $75 for a 20-ounce T-bone. The most expensive menu item is a $79 Delmonico, and the least expensive entrée is a $35 salmon filet."

Though it's by no means cheap, David Burke Prime is downright reasonable compared to some of the others on The Daily Meal's list.

The report also listed Masa in New York City, which costs patrons $595 per person before drinks and tax for its world-famous sushi, and Urasawa in Los Angeles, which will set you back $450 per person for the Michelin-rated Japanese food.
