The first thing we did after getting off the train was make a B-line here for lunch. It was a 15 minute walk from the station, made a little more cumbersome with our carry-on's but it was worth it! I was initially disheartened to see the crowd waiting in line, but was pleasantly surprised when we got seated right away once we got the hostess' attention. I think it was because we were a party of 2 and everyone else was waiting for a bigger table. Lesson learned! Always ask!!
My partner in crime got the Mr Miami ($14.95) and we both tucked in happily into the piping hot smoked beef brisket sandwich. The pesto and havarti brought a lovely creaminess while the salsa and red onions gave a hint of sweetness. I skipped the menu and asked for a cheese croissant and a palmier from the bakery. The croissant was perfect in texture (I should have asked for it to be heated up), and the Palmier was the sweet touch at the end of the meal.
For those who don't know what a Palmier is, it's like the Asain butterfly cookie but much larger and with more textures. The outside is crusted with a sugary almond glaze, while the inner flakes are soft and buttery. Absolutely delicious. I would stop by just to grab one of these!!
