I am guessing that price would be almost the same/slightly reduced?

I hope this trend continues, but the framing here is odd. Restaurant meal portions in the US are huge compared to other countries. One doesn't need to be on a diet or taking diet drugs to benefit from smaller portions (especially paired with a smaller bill).

True. Though if you’re paying for sit-down service anyway, the marginal cost of ingredients is relatively low, especially in places with pricey real estate or where tipped wage is higher than the federal minimum. Might as well pay a few extra bucks for the larger serving and have leftovers, IMO.

Last time I dined out, we noticed the smaller portions (mostly cutting out the potatoes or rice that always used to be served under each entree). What caused us to notice it? We had room for dessert afterward! (And yes, the restaurant made more money from us that way, too.)

Many restaurants could shrink portions to reasonable sizes, and that would be a good thing.

But when I spend a lot of money on a meal, and I’m considering stopping at a drive-through on my way home… it ruins the experience. I never go back because it feels like being scammed.

I wonder why expensive restaurants tend to have small portions? High quality ingredients are expensive, but that can’t be the whole reason.
