| - My boyfriend took me here for lunch during the workweek. The food isn't mind-blowing, but it's good.
Parking here isn't awful, but you may have to travel around the block to find street parking. I parked in the underground parking lot at 1st, before Central.
The restaurant itself has a diner-esque feel. It made me want a milkshake. There were a lot of attorneys in the restaurant, which makes sense because the restaurant is situated in the middle of all the law office buildings, and is close to the courthouses.
Service: We were greeted immediately after we walked into the restaurant. Both the person who sat us at our table and our server were keen to help us decide on lunch. This was our first time here, so they took the time to explain the menu and how we could order a speciality burger, or create our own burger. They were attentive, but not overbearing.
Food: My boyfriend customized a bison burger - 1/3 lb. organic patty with brie, kale, and a couple other items. I got the $11 lunch combo with the Old Fashioned burger (tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese) and a side of sweet potato fries. The burgers were surprisingly really good. They were both on brioche buns that were flavourful and delightfully chewy. The bison was delicious. My Old Fashioned burger was exactly what I expect out of a good burger. I'd probably try customizing a burger next time though.
The sweet potato fries were pretty underwhelming. They were slightly warm at best, under-seasoned, and limp. I wouldn't order those again, and that makes me sad because I like sweet potato fries. A lot.
With so many choices for lunch in the area, I don't know when I'll be back here again. For people who want a quick and filing meal, I'd recommend The Counter.
