This restaurant is my ideal weekday lunch destination. the decor is design-savvy, down to details like somewhere to put/hang your purse regardless of where you sit. the menu concept is simple and appealing. the dishes are enjoyable and well proportioned. whereas pub food will leave you sleepy and dreading returning to work in the afternoon, a soup and sandwich at taste are just right. the service is quick and i'm usually able to finish up lunch without worrying about being back to work late. i'm a big fan of the tomato soup and grilled cheese combo (with a touch of blue cheese). the 'cherry' - you bill is always accompanied by a homemade miniature cupcake - different each time. these can also be purchased by the dozen, and unlike most cupcakes i come across they aren't too sweet, and there's not an absurd excess of icing.
i'd really like to go back for after work drinks - it seems like a nice spot for that as well.
highly recommend!
