About
This modern international restaurant/bar does a good job of closing itself off amid the hubbub of downtown foot traffic. Because it's split into two glitzy levels with large windows facing the street, there's ample people-watching while you munch on sandwiches, grilled meats, full breakfasts, and pastries. A lively bar -- particularly for after-work drinks when they have two-for-one specials -- makes up most of the lower level. The three-course executive lunch menus are the best deal in the house.
