I had a rock shrimp salad and tap water for $16 yesterday for lunch. Pretty outrageous price, but I thought maybe there would be enough for left overs. Boy, was I wrong! The salad was appetizer size for $16. It was tasty but hardly worth it because I was starving by 4:00. My friend had a crostini for over $9. It also looked like a small appetizer. She had to eat her frozen Smart One at 4:00. I don’t have a problem with small plates, but it needs to be reflected in the price. The bakery prices don’t look as outrageous as the lunch prices so maybe the bakery can survive but the lunch menu needs some serious adjustments.

She rejects the shot if it ever gets to 95C or below or if the crema is sub-par.

Seriously, though, espresso for dad, cookie for daughter ;-)
