Good atmosphere, bad value 2/15/2008

This was one of the worst eating experiences I've had in the 22 years I have lived in Austin. I went for my sister's birthday, and they charged me for the birthday cake (that took them 15 minutes to bring). My waiter gave bad recommendations and when I asked for limes, or clean silverware, I did not get them. The waiter also came and tried to take my plate while half my meal was still on it. These are things that would make me not go back for a while, but the portion size was the deal breaker. The $28 flounder, with the green beans that were served with it, wouldn't have even filled up a 2nd grader. I would guess that the entire meal was less than 2 cups in volume. Comparing that portion to somewhere like South Congress Cafe (just down the street) would be about 1/3 of the food at a higher cost. Also, they stuff people in the front so people walking by on south congress with think that they place is really busy, while the back of the restaurant is next to empty. I will never go back to eat again, maybe to use the restroom (they were clean)! Pros: good food and clean Cons: TINY portions, poor service, and overpriced more
