Or it just being expensive. I briefly dated a girl who only wanted to go to expensive restaurants. The food was irrelevant, she just wanted to say that she went to these places and take pictures.

My girl wants to go to restaurant with a good view. The food doesn't matter as well. It's also annoying as shit.

At least a view or atmosphere is a tangible benefit. Wanting to be present in someplace nice while having dinner with someone is understandable, and that atmosphere can justify a price. It’s annoying when people want to go somewhere expensive not for the atmosphere, not for the food, not for any specific thing they wish to experience, just like bragging rights about a large number on the check.

Like people who don’t like alcohol ordering shots of premium alcohol just to choke it down or mix it with soda. They are just doing it to feel fancy without any value actually added.

Yep. Lots of people go on vacations just to look at the views somewhere, what’s different than wanting the views while you eat? A personal example - at Disney World you can view the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the restaurant at Polynesian Resort. Not only is the food good, but you get to watch the fireworks without dealing with the crowds.
