~$550 for the summer tasting and wine pairings at EMP for my girlfriend's 25th.
Highest overall bill was $1500 for 12 people at a terrible Italian restaurant somewhere in the East 50's. I cannot remember why I agreed to go to that birthday dinner as I only knew one couple and it was neither of their birthdays.... I would rather have gone to the Olive Garden.
*edit* I forgot to say that the dinner at EMP was completely worth the bill.

I guess I'll give a semi-serious answer. Some of my most expensive per person dining experiences were:
Cyrus, the big tasting + more + grand wine pairing
This (which was incredible and I highly recommend it if you're ever in Scotsdale during the cool season): http://www.thephoenician.com/file/ph...box_6.12.9.pdf
That's personal. I keep no memory of business dinners where an expense account is paying.

I've done a couple of birthday parties where the tab was probably $2000-$3000 for 10 people or so, including wine and tip. We bought a dinner for 10 at a fundraiser once for about $2,500.
Beyond that I'm pretty small time. Spent about $500 on a dinner for 2 at River Cafe in Brooklyn last March including wine and tip.

Not including my wedding, mine was $500+ for dinner for 2 at Daniel a few years ago. I have had a few business dinners of $1K - $2K maybe even more, but since it wasn't coming out of my pocket I wasn't really concerned.

I'll flip this for a moment give you my "best deal" restaurant" bill.
In May 2009 in Zihuatanejo, Mexico we had a wedding. The Swine Flu and the financial crisis meant that no one was in the town except for our wedding party. We arranged to have a beautiful outdoor restaurant all to ourselves for 24 people. Dinner included musicians, Margaritas, Beer, appetizers, a full classic Mexican dinner, desert, Kaluha, coffee and tequila. Total bill including tip $525. The owner was so happy he came over repeatedly to thank us.
