In restaurants I’m the king of doggie bags. I enjoy all kinds of food, but in small portions. That’s why I like tapas, dim sum, sushi etc. But I have two questions. What other foods come in portions you can order in... (7 replies, last updated by Googs October 8, 2007)

The post about small portions at Tournesal is something that seems to happen from time to time in restaurants. I’ve not had that experience at Tournesal, but the last time I went to Miss Williamsburg Diner, I found a very... (1 reply, last updated by Kerry March 16, 2003)

Hi all. I am looking for a good anniversary spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 5th. I’m looking for something more upscale and romantic. My problem is that, since having weight loss surgery my stomach can only... (5 replies, last updated by keithdcil May 20, 2008)

(as I am not feeling altogether glamorous these days...) but still romantic and pleasant. Any ideas for a casual-but-nice place with great food in small portions? (9 replies, last updated by sol February 14, 2002)

I am probably in a minority, but, having given Allium a fair number of chances in the past number of months, I feel that their portion are more precious than they are at Wheatleigh. I do not mind spending the money if it is value... (3 replies, last updated by harrie October 3, 2009)

We really were let down by our visit. The goat cheese eggplant came in 3 miniscult bites. The gnocchi was also a very very tiny portion. And the service was very cold and sterile. (1 reply, last updated by saturninus August 1, 2006)

I went to this place last night, partially on the recommendations of many hounds. Others were not so enthusiastic. I am mixed. The food is very nice. Good, bold flavours. But, the prices and portions! Holy cow! The prices are 40%... (3 replies, last updated by Fwagra August 13, 2006)

I have two suggestions for you: Giacomo’s, on Hanover St. and La Summa, on Fleet St. Giacomo’s is wonderful, and they certainly give large portions. But they don’t take reservations and it’s usually a long... (19 replies, last updated by Joe May 22, 2006)

I haven’t been in a while, but I think that they were average main course portion sizes. Meaning that they are enough for one person. Unless they’ve switched to a tapas style menu. (1 reply, last updated by mcmalaprop January 25, 2006)

I’ve been meaning to go for a while, and today’s NYT review pushed me over the edge. Have a reservation tonight and was quite excited. However, some of the reader comments on menupages and the Times website complain... (2 replies, last updated by lanadai August 8, 2007)
