| - A wonderful gem in a rough setting. I have had lunch, brunch, and supper and have enjoyed each. The service is always attentive and chatty, while not overwhelming. The decor is comfortable with a nod towards more formal dining. When very crowded, however, the concrete floors and mostly hard surfaces do make for something of an echo chamber.
The brunch Sunday afternoons is lovely, with a great variety of meats, pastas, fruit, and baked goods. The shortbread/biscuits are not to be missed. My other favorite is the brisket, which is odd, given that I am not much of a meat eater. It is positively fork tender and rests in its own delicious juice. They also cook to order french toast (VERY custardy) and chocolate waffles (which I liked fine despite usually not being much of a chocolate person). There is often a line for brunch.
For lunch throughout the week, they offer a reasonable selection of small plates, entrees, and desserts. Supper is more expensive, but still a good value for what you receive. My other half is a vegetarian, and the chef gladly prepared something to his taste when asked (and it was quite good). I've tried every variation of dessert they offer and have loved each.
Overall, this is my favorite restaurant on my end of town.
