Look, I understand that high quality dining will not have a portion size or price point of a buffet. But this took itto the extreme. We ordered two appetizers $14-16 each): shrimp, and a crab cake. Both were very good, but there were just twomedium shrimp, and the crab cake couldn't have been 3 ounces. I had a $43 lamb porterhouse loin chop), which had a deliciousreduction sauce. But it couldn't have been more than 5 oz., accompanied by a modest amount of steamed vegetables. I buy thiscut for about $8/lb at my local grocery. The drinks were well made and presented, but far from a generous pour. Again, very wellprepared, but I left a bit hungry and with a very light wallet.
