"The new Inness Hotel restaurant menu (on line) took me quite a while to decipher. Maybe I'm very under-educated, but I had to look up miche, vadouvan aioli, nigella, buratta. That's just the "starters." One of the salads is made of gem. Hum. Under "Pasta" I looked up reginette, bottarga, mezze maniche, merguez ragu. I recognized the word "mint." Under "Mains" there is Kilcoyne burger. Turns out Kilcoyne is not a kind of meat but the name of a farm (I think). How about some coulotte? It's only $46. Or chicken with sauce tarator? A pizza has a tartufuta topping. Google tells me that there's no such thing, but suggests tartufata instead, which also needed looking up. It was such a relief to find in the dessert section: "dark chocolate cake" for $11. Not to mention panna cotta with fennel pollen. Busy bees!"

If I were you Jerry, I would have asked for a ham and cheese sandwich just in case

From my not so humble point of view, pretentious menus are just an excuse to tuck it to the members of a pretentious public.

In some parts of the country, folks would say that place was trying"...to cut a fat hog in the ass" or in other words were "putting on airs".
