Server didn’t hurry us along so we were able to enjoy our meal and conversation. Portofino salad is big enough to split, although they will charge a small fee for sharing. I was satisfied with ordering a “ vegetable medley” side and roasted potatoes. Not a fan of the juice on the potatoes, next time will ask them to hold it. Walked out $100 lighter.
