When I go out to eat, I need to be fed. The food was gorgeous, so tasty, but I need more! I left satisfied but jot full and for a 500e bill (2 x bottles of wine) that just isn't acceptable. There is no option to order additional sides with dinner, and considering these TINY portions, this essential. I would be back for the food but please, make the portions bigger!!
