| - Not cheap, but good.
I gave this restaurant a try after seeing the ratings on Yelp, and because I've grown hopelessly bored of PATH takeout food. I took my friend yesterday, and we both ended up having the same thing - #2 toasted ciabatta bread with goat cheese, basil, pesto and portabello mushrooms. It came in a cardboard box and also had a side salad with a light dressing. The cost was about $7.50 per person.
While the sandwich turned out to be outstanding and full of taste, the restaurant itself was INSANELY busy. When we arrived there appeared to be 2-3 lineups plus milling crowds. Since we had never been there before we were initially confused where to order. The clientele seems to be mostly Bay Street types who will be using their Blackberries simultaneously while ordering/eating. Our order was prepared fairly quickly - as we selected something from their Express Menu of about 8 different sandwiches listed on a blackboard. We also saw them preparing salads, and custom sandwiches - but with the huge crowds, I didn't think it was prudent to venture into that realm just yet.
It bares mentioning that my favorite thing about this restaurant, aside from the great taste of the sandwich itself, was the abundance of fresh and healthy ingredients. We truly need more restaurants like this in place of McDonald's or Wendy's.
Loses a point for busyness factor. Not a fault of the restaurant, but something to take into consideration if you plan on visiting.
