I've been to Lisa G's a handful of times for lunch over the past two months with some of my co-workers. The decor is simple, yet chic. We always seem to get the same waiter each time we go, who knows our order almost to a T. The lunch menu consists of a handful of sandwiches, some salads, the famous "bowl of balls", and typically a special. I typically get the "Juno" which is a chicken sandwich with fontina cheese and onions. While nothing special, it is quite filling. However, it comes with no sides and costs $9. Not sure a chicken and cheese sandwich is really worth $9.
A few weeks ago, my co-worker and I ordered the special of the day which was a chicken caesar salad. Now, to me, the word special implies something not served typically at a price comparably or a little less than other things on the menu. Well, our caesar salad was $12. For a special.
I intend to check out Lisa G's for dinner sometime, as their dinner menu online sounds interesting. I've glanced at the wine list and it doesn't jump out at me as very extensive...definitely not what I would expect from a place that bills itself as a wine bar.
