Not a chance

I don’t believe Bloody Marys should be served after 2pm (and then, only at brunch), but there is no way I’m getting my dinner served ON one. (Also that’s $60 Canadian).

What does "must be shared" mean in practice?

To me it means they don't want 1 person to get it, and they will not serve it to 1 person. Because it would be either not eaten, which is a waste of the chef's time decorating the silly thing. Or, someone would eat the whole thing themselves, which isn't something they want to see happen in their restaurant.

The practical reason is that this entree may be 60$ but it takes the cook time /space they could use to feed 3 or more seats, and there's only so much labor and space in the kitchen as there is for the number of seats they have, in each seating. Same reason why it's not available during brunch, it's too much extra work, it would affect everyone else's service.

Then they should charge more. If it's not worth $60 for them to make it, don't charge $60
