| - Not bad, but Ridiculously Overpriced
Well, what about paying $80 for lunch for three people? Sounds like a fancy restaurant... We paid $125, for lunch at Rodeo Dr., in Beverly Hills, and it felt fair... The eatery in the Junction area... sounds definitely an overkill... quite a bit.
We had a lunch at the Honest Weight, ordered seared scallops, fish sandwich and chowder. Scallops were good, but not something exquisite. Charging $19 for three and a half (not joking) scallops probably possible in the chef's restaurant, but then a plate would be perfectly presented. Here was nothing else on the plate besides scallops, just few miniature slices of chili. The fish sandwich $16, wasn't bad, but with the same success it could cost $12, there wasn't anything outstanding. It was falling apart at the bottom.
The chowder comes in a very small bowl, $12, should've been less than half, considering that it was very light, no fish, just few small mussels and pieces of veggies... Two slices of bread, top burned very much.
Finally, charging $8 for a pint of local beer, the brewery is literally a block away is way too bold.
Just wondering, who was that critic raving about the food at the Honest Weight? Must've been drunk or something... Just kidding...
