What a disappointment.\n\nThe prix fix menu was $35 and I would not have paid more than $20 for the food that was presented.\n\nI started with the mackerel with pickles. The mackerel was really quite fantastic, perfectly done, with nice crispy skin. The pickles and the garnishes were OK. This was about an $8 value in my view.\n\nThe main was a hanger steak, which I ordered medium rare. This was the biggest disappointment of the evening. The steak itself was decent, but the portion served was ridiculously small. And this coming from a person who hates large steaks. Seriously, the portion was the 1/4 of the size that any reputable restauranteur would ever deem appropriate to serve as the absolute minimum in a meal. Disgraceful. And worse, it was delivered to me two shades below even lukewarm. \n\nThe lemon marshmallow desert, while decent (not great) was also embarrassingly small. This was more like a $4 desert sampler, overpriced at that.\n\nAgain, this is coming from someone who DOES NOT LIKE BIG PORTIONS. But for having a few beers, I would have had to eat another meal.\n\nClearly, the owners were trying to make money off of Summerlicious which is a poor marketing strategy. Mostly because the whole experience was so chintzy that I will never eat there again.\n\nOne more precious bit. I had a beer while I was waiting for my friend to arrive, and when we got our table, I asked if the bill could be transfered to our table. The bartender refused to do so, and made it seem like she was doing me a favour in the process. And, because I had no cash, I had to pay debit and she gave me the stink eye when I paid. I understand the complications re: tipping and the like, but Christ, work it out amongst yourselves.\n\nAll in all, will never eat there again."^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
