Hijacking this thread but... "Plentiful for the cost" is an oxymoron to "great restaurant" Okay maybe that's a little bit flippant but seriously, judging a restaurant based on quantity of food for cost is apparently a very American thing and one of the reasons food is so bad here in general http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0767920562 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0767920562 had a chapter on how different cultures think about food. Having lived in a different one for several years that valued flavor over quantity I wish there was some way to influence America's culture more in that direction. It might also help our obesity issues. I'd much rather have a small scoop of unique and delicious ice cream than the tubs that some of the most popular American chains dish out

Assisting with hijack, I'm not sure it's only an American thing... Trawl Urbanspoon for Australia and you'll find plenty of restaurants (particularly fine dining) reviewed with a bitch about how much they cost compared to quantity delivered. Non-hijack: I'm not convinced that this restaurant has a "strategy" that involves being under the radar. Indeed, their marketing appears to go as far as telling people who walk past that it's open. They don't even appear to have a name. That's not being a tricksy "invite only" place, it's just not having any branding. At all.
