Portions are getting smaller by the day. (Just look at the number of tapas menus popping up.) At Match, the burger, too, has been officially, and artfully, cut to size. In the sleek lounge, spicy lamb burgers with yogurt relish, lobster burgers with red-pepper aioli, and classic beef with cheese make perfect snacks. What hurts is the price: The minis range from $4.75 to $8 each, and it takes at least three to make a meal. Better to start with a crisp martini and a mushroom-Asiago pizza. Larger appetites might even try the 10-ounce filet mignon entrée. Luckily, the cocktails—like the toasted coconut concoction, for example—are ideally proportioned and serve as a satisfyingly sweet dessert.

Review
When the food came, in my calamari was a triangular piece of very sharp glass that I nearly choked on while chewing my food. When I reported this to the manager they offered me more food! I wouldn't want to risk more glass, who knows where the rest of it is in the kitchen! My friend stopped eating her food out of concern, and the manager offered me something so I just had a glass of wine. The waitress then came over and asked if she could get me anything else? No thank you. Neither of them seemed very concerned by this. Then she immediately proceeded to serve us with the BILL for my friends meal!! I was infuriated. We were asked to PAY for this experience? I will NEVER return to Match and I think that the restaurant kitchen should be inspected - someone else could have choked on glass! On my way out the manager told me to have a nice night... and that was it! Eat at your own risk at MATCH!
