| - I went here for lunch with a friend, and it was a pretty nice experience.
The high rating is due to the food - it was really delicious. The food had enough ingredients to make sandwiches etc. more upscale, without going over the top. It's a place I can take my foodie friend to, and also my, for lack of a better word, meat-and-potatoes boyfriend. The interior was lovely - dark brown and white coloring, a little cramped (but pleasantly so, if that's a thing), and intimate.
The dessert was a pomegranate rosewater cheesecake. I think that's all that needs to be said.
The reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is the price and the service. The price is a bit higher, which I have no problem with if the experience is worth it. Although the food was delicious, the overall experience just wasn't up to par with what we paid, in my opinion. The service was also painfully slow for lunch. Most restaurants open for lunch downtown move at a faster clip than dinner, since most patrons are taking a 1-hour lunch break. Eating there took almost 2 hours.
Overall, I would still go back there in a heartbeat. The food and atmosphere was great, if you don't mind paying a little bit more and have the time.
