I would prefer it if the menu was more extensive, as it is rather limited.
There is a lack of options to choose from on this menu.
The first phrase uses the word "unfortunately", which shows that the person is not happy with the limited options given on the menu.
The second phrase focuses on the preference of the diner, and uses the word "extensive" to infer that the person word prefer a menu with greater, a more extensive, choices.
The third phrase makes it clear that the diner is not happy with the selection on the menu, and is stated more as a fact than in the other two phrases.
If there are only three items on the menu, then you can say"This menu has very little to choose from" or "this menu is too small"Also, you can ask whether they have any specials( which are not normally on the menu.)

When you want to express that you wish a restaurant menu had more options, then you could say this in the following ways:
-I wish there were more options
-I was hoping there would be more to pick from
レストランのメニューにもっと選択肢が合ったらいいなと思うことを伝えるときのフレーズです。
-I wish there were more options
(もっとメニューがあったらいいのに。)
-I was hoping there would be more to pick from
(もっと選べたらいいのに。)
"I wish there were more options to choose from." expresses the desire for more to choose from on the menu. The wording of 'I wish' expresses a desired change if you could make it, without demanding or asking for that change.
Also using 'I wish', the phrase "I wish the menu was bigger." is a way of saying that you wish there were more items on the menu. If the menu is small, it means there are few items and if it is large, that means there are a lot of items to choose from.
"I wish there were more options to choose from."
(もっと選べたらいいのに。)
これは、もっと多くのメニューから選べたらいいと思っていることを意味します。 'I wish' は、相手に変えてもらうように要求したり、お願いしたりせずに、変えることができたらいいなという願望を表します。
また、"I wish the menu was bigger."は、メニューがもっとあったらいいのにという意味です。 the menu is smallとは、少ししかメニューにないという意味でit is largeは、メニューがたくさんあるという意味です。
All three of these questions have very similar meanings and can be used interchangeably. The main two that are the most similar to each other, "I wish there were more options," and, "I wish I had more to choose from," use the verb, to wish, to describe the desire that one has for something to have more options/choices.
The second one refers to the menu as the subject of the sentence, and how it lacks choices/options.
これら3つは全てよく似た意味で、同じように使うことができます。最初の2つはよく似ていて、"I wish there were more options" (もっと選べたらいいのに。)と"I wish I had more to choose from"(もっと選ぶことができたらいいのに。)には、動詞wishが使われています。これは、もっと選ぶことができたらいいのにという願望を表します。
2つ目は、メニューに選択肢がないことを表す文です。
"The menu only has three options, it wish it had more selection"
"The menu at this restaurant is limited"
If you were at a restaurant and there were only three options on the menu, and you wish that there was more options, you could say any of the following: "I wish there were more options", "The menu only has three options, it wish it had more selection" or "The menu at this restaurant is limited".
レストランに行って、メニューが3種類しかなく「もっと種類があったらいいのに」と思ったのですね。この「もっと種類があったらいいのに」は次のように言えます。
"I wish there were more options"(もっと種類があったらいいのに)
"The menu only has three options, I wish it had more selections"(メニューが3種類しかない。もっとたくさん種類があればいいのに)
"The menu at this restaurant is limited"(このレストランのメニューは少ない)
