3.5 really - but I'll round up 'cause I'd like them to do well.\n\nHere's the deal. \nI had three small plates and a cocktail. \n\nThe cocktail (Sake Long Time) was light and refreshing, and the little lychee balls that popped in my mouth were tasty and fun. It's been so long since anything has popped in my mouth... \n\nbut I digress...\n\nTwo of the small plates (a nightly special - Blue Crab Spring Roll, and the Asian Crepes) were quite good. The dishes were well-prepared and tasty.\n\nThe third plate - the Chicken Pretzel Brat - was pretty standard. Just okay.\n\nAll together, the meal cost about $40 with tip.\n\nAnd there's my issue. For $40, I felt like I was on the low end of \""enough\"".\nYes, I appreciate the fresh ingredients, as well as the inventive preparation - but when I can get good All-You-Can-Eat sushi nearby for $30 total; ...well, I'm more likely to go for that. \n\nI'm not a quantity-over-quality guy, and I don't need to gorge to be happy - but the balance needs to be a bit more in favor of portion size before I can justify being a regular at Nosh & Swig. \n\nGlad I tried it. Hope they do well at this location.
