I straight love the map room. The fact that this place doesn't have at least 4.5 stars blows my mind. We start by ordering drinks. I'm a classic beer gal. The beer menu extensive and CHEAP. Big Hop on draft, big smile on my face. My husband enjoys fancier drinks because he's a fancy man. He always picks something fun and different and always finishes whatever he's served in about 1.5 gulps. Great in the booze department.
The food. I was worried about this place because the only menu I could find online for this place didn't have many vegetarian options. We eventually went anyways and I was pleased to find that they had a newer menu. On the new menu there were several vegetarian options. I got the seitan sandwich. From the second I took the first bite, I went into a kind of trance and didn't snap out of it until I looked down and realized I'd just inhaled the entire hoagie. I then started licking my fingers like a savage. Holy cow, it's the most delicious entree I've had since I can't remember. Oh probably since the Quiet Storm (RIP) but honestly, I think this sandwich might have been better. No disrespect to the deceased. I noticed some other reviewers loathed the seitan sandwich which I don't really understand. It's flavorful and is very well seasoned. I really, really enjoyed it. The second time I got this sandwich I let my husband try a SMALL piece and he threw his endorsement behind it too.
The staff is really lovely and kind. Never a long wait and not hipster too cool for school like other places in the area that make me want to leave before even walking in the door. I think this place is a true gem and one of the best places in Regents Square.
