The menu is a bound (spiral) book. It takes about an hour to read it, so you really want to have some idea of what you are hungry for before opening it. I decided before we got there that it was a chicken sort of night. Not sure why, just felt like eating chicken. Josh gave us a list of his favorites, but chicken was not on his list. The good thing was, only one page of chicken dishes. So I had an easy time selecting my dinner. I got Crusted Romano Chicken, which was deeeelicious. The chicken had been pounded flat, so it took up the whole plate. Did I say plate? I mean platter. It was served on a PLATTER. And topped with pasta, enough to feed our whole family and take leftovers home. The guys got the double barbeque bacon cheeseburger, and Tams got the Chipotle chicken fingers. Once again, on PLATTERS, with enough french fries to keep McDonalds going for an hour or so. It was an incredible amount of food.
Of course we tried to make a dent in our dinner, but it was just too much. It didn't even look like I had started on the pasta, and everyone had lots of leftovers. Some things go home well and some don't, so we ended up leaving quite a bit behind. We were too full to even imagine dessert, much less order it. Right there with the best cheesecake, and no desire for it...So that got me thinking. Who gets to choose what a "portion" is going to be? Who decides that a plate isn't good enough but a platter will work better? And why aren't there menu selections for those of us who don't want to go home feeling like we just ate a cinder block? I didn't see a lighter menu, a senior menu, a diet menu or even a children's menu. You got a feast, whether you wanted it or not. Hmmm. I would like to know.
I was thrilled that we got to go out, and LOVED the food. But in a few weeks when we go again, I am going to look at the menu for something small! I think it will be a challenge.
