Going out to dinner with the family is a great way to catch up and have some fun.

What would you do if your brother picked a restaurant that he knew was outside of your budget when it was his turn to choose?

That is what happened to the man in this story, so he yelled at him and now the brother is giving him the silent treatment.

Check out the details and pick a side.

AITA For Going Off On My Brother Who Planned Dinner For the Family and Taking Us to an Out of Budget Restaurant

My brother planned dinner for the family because we haven’t seen each other in some weeks so we wanted a day to get together.

There was no special occasion, my younger brother had been sick the week of, but we all wanted to get together to make sure he was okay.

My older brother planned a dinner day for us and found the restaurant he wanted to go to.

Nice, but not too expensive.

Beforehand, he called and asked if a $30 hibachi plate was okay.

I was fine with a $30 plate because that’s usually what places are running now a days.

He didn’t send where we were going until 10 minutes before it was time to meet up.

When we arrived at the restaurant it seemed nicer than I expected.

Those types of restaurants are fun.

He told the hostess we wanted to wait for one of the chef shows.

I asked for the menu and found that the cheapest option on the menu was a $37 veggie plate with increased prices to add a meat.

Every option averaged $55+.

Was I wrong for bringing the menu to my brother and telling him “I’m tired of your lying so you can get what you want. This place is too expensive for what I was told.”

We left the restaurant and got in an argument about how he spent a lot of time planning where we were going to eat.

$55 is way different than $30.

That he will not be called a liar when he “told me plates average $30-$45” (on the phone he told me $30).

And then stormed off causing the family to not have dinner.

For background I just paid rent the following week so money was running a little tight.

So he knew that money was tight.

On the prior phone call I explained to home I’m broke right now but don’t care where we go as long as it’s not too expensive.

It’s been 2 days since the incident and we haven’t spoken.

AITA?

It sounds like this is a regular occurrence for him, so it was good to call him out on it, though maybe it could have been done in a nicer way.

Let’s read what some of the people in the comments have to say.

Here is someone that says to never let him choose again.

This person has a great idea.

It really is out of line.

Here is a comment that says the brother doesn’t like being challenged.

This person has a good idea.

The brother needed to be put in his place.

He wasn’t wrong to call him out on his shenanigans.
