I think this place is a bit overhyped. I came here for breakfast the other day and it was good - even very good - just not great. I like the starkness of the restaurant and the big open windows in the front. The server was nice, thoughbeit a little intrusive. I found the menu to be pretty standard and the one thing that we tried that was different (vegan coconut/carrot pancakes) were reallllly dense, kinda salty and not very good. I *might* go back if friends would want to go, but if you're downtown, go to e.a.t. It's way better.
