| - My husband and I went for late lunch last weekend, and was pretty excited to try this place. I was really hoping the experience would be as great as the atmosphere. The decor is great, I love the open outdoor patio and the look of the market. We each ordered a coffee, one being an espresso and the other a cold brew. Both were fantastic. However, our name was never called, or wasn't called loud enough but I happened to walk to the bar and they were ready. I ordered a Mediterranean salad, and added chicken. Overall the salad was really delicious and the dressing was really light and not overwhelming. I think the price was a little high, but not too out of the norm. So, two thumbs up for atmosphere, coffee, and my salad.
Here's the downside. My husband ordered a grilled cheese, and paid $4 for a side salad. This was a JOKE!! Seriously. If you're going to put a grilled cheese on the regular menu, not the kids menu, then you better make it worth it. There were two small slices of bread, and cheese only on half. No kidding. And the side salad: a small cup of lettuce, a few shredded carrots, and 1 half of a cherry tomato. Come on. For $4? My husband was super disappointed and left hungry.
Also, no forks on the tables and none in the containers outside at a little bussing station. Had to wander around until I found one inside. This is just a bit of feedback for staff, didn't really bother me, but kind of a drag on the first impression.
Overall, I still think this place has some potential, and great decor. I'd give this place one more shot based on the coffee and my salad. However, if the food isn't better on the next try, my husband (and sadly I) won't be back. I'm going to give it 3 stars, mainly for the coffee and the atmosphere.
