| - Through Stevey, I first heard of this place as a great little loungey place for food and wine and was surprised I had never heard of it.
About two weeks ago, I decided to finally drop off the rest of my over-due (by like FOUR MONTHS...maybe more) books, which embarrassingly enough contained OutKasts Idlewood DVD that I probably owe 135 dollars in fine for keeping. The shame. I had already spent a relaxing day in Phoenix, had a light lunch, and when walking back to the car, realized Cheuvront was RIGHT THERE. I decided to brave crossing the "street" (since the light rail construction was going on right there) and check it out. It was like 3 something and I indulged in a glass of wine outside on the patio. The beeping of a construction vehicle didnt even deter from my experience, and I think the construction may be exactly what is hurting this business considering what should be its prime location.
Stevey wanted to meet up with a Brooklyn-ite here, so I made it here (even passing it to be honest) after checking the menu on-line to see if I could eat anything. I am lactose-intolerant, so going to a cheese place is kinda asking for the house of pain, and is about as smart as me being a meat free person going to a steak house. Yeah. But they had some good salad options so I went for it.
I went for the Salad Nicoise, after convincing my other table mates to indulge in an appetizer (it seemed dumb to not sample at least SOME of the cheese this place has to offer) and it was fantastic. I def. want to try the Spanish plate with almonds, and fig cake and all that good stuff next time. My salad was yummy-there was so much Tuna I had to give it away, but no one complained despite their huge steaks and bacon wrapped shrimp to eat. Overall, it was fantastic with the super light cab by the glass I chose, but I must confess I found the salad a tiny bit bland-a little more seasoning and better quality potatoes would have pushed this salad to a new place.
The place was inhabited by some big groups of ladies gettin their pre-game on, and it was pretty empty with just us there. I really think it isnt busy due to the horrible predictament with the light rail construction in front. Next time you are near the Heard, Art museum or Library, stop by here for a cheese plate or salad and some great wine, esp. near Lunch hours.
One note: the bathrooms, while innovative, were so confusing-who on a date wants to look like an asshole who cant open a door to the bathroom? Shits hard enough!
