The Bureau of Labor Statistics has this kind of data.
I used "Precision production, craft, and repair occupations" and the highest skill level from this link.
I realize this data is ten years old (wtf?) and high-end resto shops will pay far above normal for highly skilled labor. But from what I've seen, expecting $50/hr or close to start at a shop would be ... optimistic. Remember that the shop has to make a profit, has to give you an avenue to earn raises, and has to have enough traffic through the shop to pay that salary year-over-year.
But if you're really that good, then go claim your prize!
