Little Spoon=LIttle Portions Stopped by for lunch today at 2 pm. The restaurant was
empty when we arrived. Thought they would be busier on a Friday afternoon. I arrived before the rest of my party so I had the server bring me some water. Asked for a lemon. At first she almost implied that they didn't have any then said she would have to cut one up or she can bring me some lemon juice. I was a little taken aback that she was less than willing to accommodate my simple request. I ordered the pork belly sandwich on brioche. The pork belly was tasty but very fatty. the brioche bun was dry and fell apart. My wife ordered the short rib sandwich, she thought it was good but the bread just fair.
I was disappointed when the server brought the food and there was not any type of accompaniment with our food. Perhaps a pasta salad, fries, anything would have been nice. I would have paid a little more for a complete meal. Or we had known we could have ordered a side.
I'm all in favor of the farm to table but they need to put a little more thought to their menu planning. Perhaps it should be farm to school (to learn how to plan a restaurant) to table. Needless to say everyone with me left hungry.
