| - Great vibe in this place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, nice to wander around, simple but appealing bar. We sampled from the olive bar and ordered food to go: arugula sopressata salad (delicious), grilled artichokes (underwhelming), stuffed peppadews (delicious and a little spicy), and the clear winner, a Mediterranean Chicken Ciabatta sandwich. There were so many great flavors on this sandwich, the ciabiatta was grilled just crispy enough so the flavor was there but you didn't feel like you would scrape the roof of your mouth and sliced thin in perfect proportion to the sandwich fillings, AND, I am not a huge fan of this adjective, but sometimes it can't be avoided, the chicken was so moist. Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood. Great place to grab an after work drink and a snack, pick up a reasonably-priced meal to go, find a nice cheese and/or wine to take to someone's house, and I noticed some frozen baklava and spanakopita that I will definitely check out at some point. I hope there isn't a negative impact on the Gordon Square Market, but I'm sure the GSM will still be the most efficient stop for a beer run and they're open later.
