So the restaurant I went to last night had a separate page with options to get small portions of the regular menu items. I figured this must mean their regular portions were huge, so I ordered a small portion. Turns out when they said small, they meant small! Maybe if I'd had an appetizer and drank a whole beer it would have been enough food, but I ended up eating more when I got home. Oh well, better than getting the large and eating too much.
