| - I met a friend here for lunch on a Thursday at noon. Though there were plenty of tables when I first arrived, it started to fill up quickly - clearly a hoppin' lunch spot!
Since I had a few minutes to myself before my friend arrived, I looked over the menu and I was really impressed with what I'll call their "attitude" toward serving alcohol. They are apparently famous for their $10 wine list, and it says on the menu that they believe people shouldn't have to pay a premium to enjoy wine with their food, so they serve wine/beer basically at cost. And all drinks are half-off every single day from 6-9pm. All that made me wish I was there for dinner so it would be appropriate to have a drink!
Instead, alas, it was just lunch, so I stuck with water - served in a ginormous glass so nobody needed to refill me. I ordered the tuna melt with swiss cheese and waffle fries. The sandwich was pretty huge - I could only eat half of it before I was full. I thought it was very tasty, and I know a tuna melt isn't always the most appetizing thing when done improperly, but I liked their spin on it. The cheese was melted and yummy. It was a bit awkward to eat, being so big, the filling had a hard time staying contained in the bread. The fries were a nice accompaniment as well.
It took us forever to signal to our waiter for the check, which is not normally a big deal, but at lunch on a weekday people usually want to get in and out within an hour, so perhaps he could have been a bit more attentive.
I have the feeling that if I return for dinner to take advantage of the drink specials, and the food is still as good or better, I'll be adding a four-star review!
