The Hungry I, Boston

My wife and i ate at the Hungry I this past saturday. the restaurant is cozy. we ate upstairs, although i would have prefered downstairs. i had the pear salad which was underwhelming. my wife had the fig salad which was very good. i had the venision. it was excellant. my wife had the lobster newburg crepe appetizer for her main course. it was also excellant. we split the walnut pie which was very good. overall the evening was a delight until the bill came. my wife has a small appetite so she clearly stated that she wanted the appetizer as her main course. the appetizer was $17. the restaurant charged us $38. It should have been explained up front that you cna't order an appetizer as a main course without an exhorbitant surcharge. as it was, my wife couldn't finish her meal. We let it pass rather than argue about it, but the next day i was feeling kinda cheated. it was my fault for not bringing it up at the time, but it was enough to put us off from going back to the restaurant. had we been told up front, we still wouldn't go back. i think if you want to order 2 appetizers as your meal, then you should be allowed to do so.
