Another disappointing experience at yet another Secret Recipe. Again, if I'm paying more than 6 or 6 hundred for a chicken dish, I'd expect it to be either really tasty and / or of a good amount.

They made olive mayo, which was an interesting touch. Finally, a slice of meyer lemon 🍋 brought everything...
