I had lunch about a month ago at a CJ here in Phoneix with a group from
work. I ordered the grilled salmon steak which came with steamed veggies
and a potato cake. It was all delicious. The portions were not
rediculous. From what I observed of the rest of our party, some of the
portions were much too large, but everyone seemed to enjoy their food.
