Innovative flavor profiles and attentive service. Excellent experience. We had the chicken panini (best my mom had ever had), and I had the roast beef sandwich with carrot ginger soup. We finished with sugar cookies. Even though I usually dislike the typical dry bland sugar cookies, these instead were perfection. Chewy, hint of almond, and buttery goodness. It was obvious the servers and chef staff care about the food.
I've been wanting to come here for quite some time but I'm not usually home during the week. My chance finally came! We walked in for lunch and yes, as everyone said, the setting is beautiful with floor-to-ceiling windows and being situated right across the street from the sculpture garden. We were greeted immediately, and directed to choose our own table. Menus came swiftly with water and they took the time to explain the specials. I got the Italian Beef Sandwich, hubby...
Americano was excellent as well. All perfectly executed in a wonderfully lit space.
Bathrooms were pristine.
Cutie not included.
