Final Grade: 93% (Excellent)

(Scoring: 100% to 140% = Exceptional, 85% to 99% = Excellent, 67% to 84% = Good, 60% to 66% = Satisfactory, 50% to 59% = Marginal, 0% to 49% = Poor, -40% to -1% = Abysmal)

Notes: Fine dining restaurants often serve miniscule portions for sky high prices. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Il Mercato doled out an excellent portion size for the money (hence the bonus point). The Orecchiette was a little salty, but everything else was top notch and we were both very pleased with our meals.
