Five Star Dinner
Taking dad out to dinner on Father’s Day is always a bit more stressful than it is enjoyable. Why? Because everyone takes dad out on Father’s Day.

They’ll come to your home, cook a five-star meal that includes cocktails and set-up for dad and his guests. The price for something like this is a minimum of $1500 for a basic dinner to upwards of $50,000 for a more elaborate meal.
