I think enforcing a standard amount of food for the $35 menus would be tough, but you are right about the frustration when you've plunked down the cash and leave a restaurant unsatisfied. For example, I went to Taste in Hotel Arts (it's never a good sign when the first quote on your home page says "It's definitely a hipster spot") and the Big Taste items were weird and puny. the people we were with got that, while I ordered off the regular menu and had a much better experience. but overall, we discovered it's basically a very expensive tapas joint and they did not gain a repeat customer, nor helpful word of mouth.
compare that to Living Room, where I left happily full of chicken and swine meat for the same price. that's a place that took advantage and will earn repeat business and positive recommendations.
