| - Went to Hotel Herman for a 9:30 p.m. reservation after getting shut out of many other places. We got there at 9 and were seated immediately, which was nice.
Per the waitress's recommendation, everyone ordered two plates each and they were all wonderful. Everyone truly enjoyed their food (my lamb in particular was cooked perfectly and juicy), though much of the menu was off-limits for some of the less adventurous eaters in our party. Don't come here if you're only down to eat meat and potatoes, because even the tamest dishes on the menu contain some sort of twist.
The reason for three stars only? Simple...my personal bill, after two plates, two cocktails and tip ran to almost $90, which would also be fine if I hadn't -- quite literally, I assure you -- left the restaurant hungry. The portions are simply way, way, way too small. This would be a lovely place to grab a drink and appetizer at the bar BEFORE dinner, but as a main meal it just doesn't cut it. And at the prices they charge, making this a pre-meal routine would also be questionable.
