Frommer's Review

This is the happening spot downtown for breakfast or lunch. What started as a smaller, granola-crowd place grew on the basis of hearty, tasty food and a friendly young wait staff into a large, busy restaurant with lots of life and energy and a diverse clientele. It's especially popular in the morning, when you'll rarely do better than the salmon cakes and eggs or omeletes. Breakfast is served all day. Lunch, starting at 11, includes comfort food such as mac and cheese or meat loaf, but also unusual sandwiches, such as roast beef and blue cheese or the delicious portabello burger. The dining room is light and colorful, with a clean feel, and with tables out in the open amid lots of movement. Bring your laptop, as the restaurant offers free Wi-Fi. The only demerits I can give are that on occasion I've had food take too long, and there's often a wait at busy hours. They're open Wednesday nights for an Irish music jam. Small monthly art shows begin with artist receptions every first Friday, a pattern shared with all the downtown galleries. They serve beer and wine.
