“Power lunch” was how Karin described this place, and that’s not far off. You can almost imagine Patrick Bateman trying to get a reservation for lunch. The charming Italian manager pushes it off that track quickly, though, but it’s still a cool-looking restaurant.
The food is great too, and the hanger steak almost made up for us not having time to go to Lark Creek Steakhouse for lunch. Yes, I’ve completely given up trying to remember what I eat for lunch, because the damn menus always change, and then people get annoyed at me for drooling over some delicacy (since I only write stuff in here about places that I enjoy) that no longer exists. Oh yeah? Well look it up on their page, you lazy bastard. It was all good, as expected. Wish the waiter had been slightly less smarmy, though.
Oh, and they have salumi (which is somehow different from salami, apparently) platters, which garners bonus points.
