Biggs; small portions at an over the top price!

The ambiance is great...good music, cool atmosphere, but the bar (which serves beer, wine ONLY by the bottle and mixed drinks made with wine substitutes) has only 3 seats. So there's no hanging out at the bar. We ordered 5 or 6 plates of their tapas style plates. When they came out we were all agast! Each tapa was barely enough for 2 people. Our seared scallops had a total of 3 on the plate, the ceviche had 2 crackers and about a cup of fish, the braised pork was about the size of a SMALL loin and the polenta was about a cup worth. Don't get me wrong, the food was wonderful, but it would have been nice to have gotten what we paid for. The tapas start at around $15/$17 and go upwards to $26 or so. I understand that tapas style means smaller portions, but come on!

• Pros: Cool atmosphere, Attentive service, Yummy food
• Cons: Undersized portions, Limited bar, Poor value
