I came here for lunch with w friend who said her husband doesn't like to eat here... But she loves it!
The homey spot has beautiful details to make you feel at home. The lunch menu had maybe 6 thing so my friend picked the veg, salad, and sandwich. Sounds basic enough...
I was over the moon about the margarita which i had really been craving that day. Since they only have 2 cocktails listed on the lunch menu I was grateful for the "simple" margarita with lime and agave. My friend got the other option-a bubbly drink with aperol. We were both happy with our drinks... Straightforward and not shy on punch.
The salad came out first which was greenery with fresh tomatoes, figs, and blue cheese. This salad tasted earthy and farm-y with the subtle figs forcing us to discuss how fig jam is too overkill sweet. How do these subtle fruits transform sweeter than honey?
Turns out the veg is a zucchini with roasted tomato and black tahini. Really amazing flavors that enhance the dark roasted tomato and crisp zucchini. My friend loved it but I didn't love it... The tahini reminds me if mud or dirt especially next to such fresh produce.
The sandwich was really delicious with a million genius things I don't even want to go into detail. Sort of a lavosh wrap served open faced with crispy eggplant, hard boiled egg, Harissa... Really generously enjoyable and surprising with each bite.
