It’s true – it really is incredibly difficult to find this place, but with a GPS and a Treo – we found it – and I can honestly say, the search was worth it. This lovely room is located down a ramp in a small lower courtyard with only a small sandwich board advertising it from the street. The room is white, clean and modern – and just all around lovely. There’s no other word I could use to describe it.

We got there at 12:30PM on Friday and it was packed, but since it was a lunch place, the turnover was quick and we got a seat at the bar after 10 minutes. It took a wee too long to get the menus and service though, but it was a packed room so I’ll let that go.

The lunch menu is quite varied and there’s a good selection of sandwiches, appies and entrees for every appetite. I was choosing between a pesto trout entree and a pork loin sandwich and since it was a really warm day, I went with the sandwich as well as a side of tomato soup (which worried me too b/c of the temperature). My friend ordered the curried tuna sandwich which in-description, was just perplexing.

The food arrived and all my worries melted away, literally and figuratively. The tomato soup was more broth-like, and had lots of tomatoes to keep it fresh, light and a wee tart so very refreshing. The pork was browned nicely and carved about 1/4 inch thick – thin enough to be bite-able, but still thick enough to get the flavour. There were touches of rosemary and herbs that elevated it. My friend enjoyed the flavours of the curried tuna – it was shredded and mixed with the seasoning, but packed enough that it wasn’t wet and falling apart. We were pleased with the entire experience and I’m glad I finally had the chance to give this place a try – and I shall return.
