Today I ordered a large Eggplant Parmigiana and and small mixed salad to go. The bill came to $72. As I was walking to my car I glanced in one of the bags and noticed a large salad with shrimp that was obviously not mine and another large container half filled with 3 small Eggplant. I assumed they made an error and I returned to the restaurant. As I walked in, the staff came up to me with another bag and said there was a mistake with the salad. I asked if they also made a mistake with the Eggplant and given me a small by mistake. The manager took the container back into the kitchen, looked in the bag and said no that s a large . I commented that I would expect the large container to be full for $45 and that I didn t think it would feed 4 people. The manager said 3 pieces will feed 5 people. I left and they never thanked me for returning the obviously more expensive salad or apologized for the error.
I don t know how they can claim that the 3 pieces of Eggplant I received will feed 4-5. It didn t satisfy 4 light eaters. I would expect for the price I paid I wouldn t have to ration it out to make sure everyone gets fed.
Not worth the money.
