Exactly what I was looking for. A relatively quiet restaurant with good food that is somewhere in the downtown core. This is one of the few places I'd happily go to knowing that I can actually hear and enjoy my conversation and my food. Not a super easy find given the propensity of DT Core lunchers to crowd all the decent places in the area.
The service was excellent, attentive but not at all pretentious. The setting was pleasant and we enjoyed the natural light coming through the window, a good break for office florescent lighting! We both had the same lunch special, a blackened salmon served with pasta. I don't remember the sauce name, but it was perfect for a cold afternoon.
Looking forward to coming here again.
