I'll stick to Melisse. We lived down the street from Drago for years and never bothered to go…seems like we didn’t miss a hell of a lot. I’ll stick to Melisse.

Yes...the overall portions were nice and large. You're right, a three-course meal's not so bad for the price. But I was pretty disappointed with a few of the dishes, mainly my fish dish. No, no wine that night. Just a Ginger Ale and some tap water. Hey MaxMillion! Yes…the overall portions were nice and large. You’re right, a three-course meal’s not so bad for the price.

I think $53 pp (presumably before tip) actually sounds pretty great for that 3-course meal (I know, not everyone ordered three). Wait -- no wine? Hmmnnn. But with some judicious ordering (e.g. avoiding the $30 fish special, esp as it was so disappointing), it might work out a little cheaper... Tasting menus aside, I usually max out after 2 courses. But I always require about two glasses of good wine. It might be your sensational pictures, but those appetisers look enormous!
