I recently tried balsam in for the first time for lunch with coworkers. We made a reservation for 7people and they had our table ready immediately. We got great service , including a great wine recommendation and really enjoyed the casual chic ambience inside (outdoor seating also available). The prices are fair and our food was fresh and well prepared and presented. Great lunch or dinner spot with a group or one on one, where you can have a nice meal in a nice setting without breaking the bank (lunch and dinner specials are also offered and change all the time) Most of us opted for pasta dishes and one of us got the tuna tartare - we were all very happy with our food and our vegetarian coworker was also happy with the menu and her meal.
