In Europe a lot of the more "upscale" restaurants have menu's with and without prices. If you let them know you're taking the others out for dinner as a treat they will hand out menu's without prices on it to your guests. And typically present the bill to you in a more subtle way so the guests don't see it.

Never really thought about it before, but I think this is for the same reason. So you can take your guests to dinner and not make it feel like a financial transaction where you're paying for them.

Hilariously in NYC there's restaurants that only do that on their website, so you can go in blind, as the buyer, to how much you are going to spend :-)
