| - I had never taken advantage of visiting when this place was previously Press, but had always loved the space. Now, Threes has set up shop and has the welcoming arms of a good spot for lunch, glass of wine, draught beer, or sushi.
Made it in for lunch and was absolutely ravenous. In search of adequate vegetarian sustenance, it was nice to find so many easily modifiable menu options. Ended up ordering the Banh Mi and substituting the pork for portabello mushrooms. The baguette it came on was a little softer than usual, but had a great chew. Tons o f veggies and a creamy sauce. I was so hungry, I could have probably eaten double the given size. I'd definitely order it again. My wife ordered the veggie sandwich on ciabatta. This was the winner. Tons of veg and a nicely balanced pesto. Nice touch with the fresh mozz, too. We also ordered a side salad to split. Spinach base with tons of veggies as well. The white balsamic dressing was light and perky.
The aspects of Threes that really shine forth are the wine options and draught beers. Tons of local brews ranging from NoDa, Birdsong, Triple C, OMB, and others. Though I'm not much of a wine drinker, the space lends itself well to lounging about with a glass or splitting a bottle amongst friends. Love that the wine racks are out in the dining area. It has a feel like you are in someone's den rather than a restaurant.
Also, just as a sidenote, and the fact that I'm a bit of a notable bathroom seeker, Threes has Dyson Air Blade hand dryers in the restrooms. Now, if you've never experienced one of these bad boys, you're in for a treat. The most efficient way to dry your hands and one of life's simple joys. Each time I visit the restroom here, I always smile knowing I get to use it. Odd? No. Smart hand drying? Oh, yes.
Also, I've heard they have sushi here in the evenings and I'm looking forward to coming back to try it out.
