I went to a fancy restaurant over the weekend, and the portions were ridiculously small. The food was excellent (they have two stars in Michelin), the service was the best I've seen in a long time, but I ordered a skirt steak and probably got about six slices of meat. Okay, maybe they're going for European style here, that's fine, but then you have to reduce the price. Because in America when I'm spending over $25 for an entree, I'm expecting a hefty portion. The cheese plate was the average price ($15), but they also gave me really small slices. I'm guessing that extra money went to the choreographer of the wait staff because holy crap I've never seen such a whirlwind of activity when being presented with the food or having the plates removed.
