| - A special shout out to the GM, Lou, who helped me coordinate the UYE here! She had two tables reserved for all of us and she and the staff were top notch with tending to us, serving food and drinks in an incredibly timely manner, and checking up with us regularly.
This place was a pinch difficult to find at night. No lit up sign, the windows are covered with green curtains (so from outside it looks quite dim), The easiest way to navigate to it is to look across the street from Bistro La Bon (or two buildings over to the left from Slate).
The water here was really good. Not rubbishy tap water. It was filtered (or distilled?) and had a hint of cucumber to it-- quite lovely. I tried their special warm sangria: warm red wine, brandy, spices, and bits of apple and orange. Excellent for a chilly night.
I tried an Indian Taco (which I was confused about how it was Indian, aside from the naan shell... I got more of a chili-over-bread impression) and the Roasted Vegetable Panini with yellow squash and sun-dried tomatoes, and root veggie chips on the side. I think a more adventurous flavor could be placed in the panini-- and the store-bought ciabatta could be replaced with a house-made whole grain/sourdough or something. Anyhow, both were satisfying and pleasant but nothing to rant and rave about.
