| - Like everyone else, I went in with the pre-disposition of disappointment compared to Palette (I'm still sad I never got to try their breakfast), and while Local Breeze has lost some of the charm of the former restaurant, it's nice to see another unique independent take this space. And I must say, the food is pretty good. The LB Paradise Toss salad burst with the flavors of spiced chicken, mango, red peppers, and cilantro and came with a light, refreshing lime vinaigrette...the perfect salad for a hot summer day. The Coca-Cola ham sandwich was really flavorful too, although the toasted bread was a little too well done. For dessert, our server recommended the key lime pie, only to come back and inform us they were out. However, I can't imagine it being much better than their rum cake...you get quite a hefty portion for $5. Service is decent - our server had to check with the kitchen when asked what kind of lettuce our salad came with - but the people are friendly, and the cookies they bring with the check are a thoughtful touch. So I guess I'll stop dwelling on the Palette past and embrace the future with Local Breeze.
