Recent Marea experiences?

Hi --

It doesn't look like anyone has posted recently on their experience at Marea? Have the portions gotten better? What were your favorite dishes? Anything to steer clear of? Thanks much!

      Went last night and had everything that halo mentions above. All were amazing. Did the 4 course pf. Left stuffed. Also had the lobster app which was tiny but super tasty. The polent fritta dessert is heaven on a plate. Service was spot on from the host to the bussers/back waiters. Superb all around especially when the Chef White is on patrol...shows they care! Job well done!

      heard from a friend's recent dinner there the portions are still on the larger size and the 4 course pf will end feeling stuffed. howver the food is very good with the uni lardo crost, crab uni spaghetti, octopus marrow pasta being the best dishes...

      i'm going on fri and will post soon.
