However, it was a little bizarre- I got a ceaser salad with huge chunks of Lettuce not cut up and it strangely had tenderstem brocolli and green beans it in. It was nice enough, and huge, but I spent a good 5 minutes having to cut everything up. We asked for water to start with and we were brought and charged for bottled water - I guess we didn't specify tap water but I'd have expected that to be the assumption.
