I'm not sure who rated the prices as $$$, but at least for lunch, the selections are really reasonably priced, and perfectly sized. The Cuban sandwich, which was delicious, stuffed with pulled pork and gruyere, was $9 with a side of fries. It's not a $1 slice of pizza, but I don't think $9 warrants any "overpriced" concerns.
Our charming server, Mick, was helpful -- with suggestions and information on the menu -- but unobtrusive. Bistro 19 was a pleasant surprise on a trip to see the parents -- the kind of place I'm glad to see reappearing on Washington Road.
