| - Popped in today for lunch after passing this place a hundred times before. I'm sorry I never tried this place sooner! They have a huge variety of sandwiches - all are the same price: $10.50. I got the special of the day which was Cajun chicken with avocado, lettuce, jalapeno Havarti and some kind of aioli. It was really delicious, but it could have used maybe another minute in the panini press to melt the cheese - so if you like gooey, melty cheese, maybe try asking for it "well done." But the flavours were great (not bland at all and very fresh) and I liked that it came with a side salad. I could even choose fruit salad, which made a nice dessert (too much melon, though - but that's always the case.) Only thing that was a bit odd was the extra side of aioli. There was already plenty on the sandwich, so it was unnecessary.
A great place to get a gourmet-tasting lunch that can be finished within 30 minutes since you don't have to count on a waiter coming by when you're ready to leave.
Comfy, plush chairs, a nice environment - oh and free ice water - which is a really special perk to this place. I have a pet peeve about bottled water, so it felt great to have an endless supply of cold water right there for the taking.
This is definitely the best place for lunch in the hospital district. This bistro is a go-to. :)
