| - The wood-fired oven, which was the main draw for me, was out of order, alas. We had some wine and beer with our meals. The wine and beer were delicious, and the selection offered was great; many locals. The space was very lovely and comfortable; it was a nice day and we sat in the front of the restaurant with the large front windows open to the lively street outside. I believe there is seating out back as well. The food was not very exciting. We started with a cheese and portobello "fondue" that had the grainy consistency of a tapenade, served with 4 small slivers of bread - not enough to eat it all with. We moved onto sandwiches that were passable - I had the roasted vegetable, and it was a mass, cold, of vegetables that were fine enough, yes, but served on two slabs of cold bread with a few hunks of goat cheese inside. All elements were quality, but the combination did not transcend its individual components.
I will try this place again once the oven is in order. It's a great space and I'd like to think they can do a better job.
