My brain has a hard time forming coherent words about how awesome this place is. It's bright and sunny inside, and I was immediately taken with how much work has been done since the days it was a kitschy German restaurant. I don't consider myself a foodie and definitely had no idea what some of the things on the menu were, but that's where the extremely nice waitress came in - very helpful and knowledgeable.
I'm vegan. I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich, and the waitress painstakingly made sure that I could eat everything on the sandwich. And then, the owner himself came out to double check. I'm used to ordering something without the cheese, getting the cheese anyway, and then being told that I can "scrape it off". So I can honestly say that I love it here if only for how attentive and knowledgeable they are.
Everything is local and organic. The bread is cooked in house, specials are perfectly in season and it's all SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS. My sandwich was so good I'd lick the plate if that wasn't sort of frowned upon.
Only complaint: the service was a little slow. But everyone was so sweet and the experience here was so nice that I hardly cared.
