This little downtown gem is pretty amazing. The concept of helping out the community is commendable, but the food is always a star! I ordered two sandwich plates and could easily have fed 4 people. The Rosemary shortbread was so good, I may have to go back and get more to take home.

I come here in a wish to feel like Anthony Bourdain but without all his camaraderie. I always order like a seasoned pig. After glazed salmon, meatloaf, tortellini, bowls of chowder and asparagus have washed down in the ambiance of new art displayed on every wall, I literally need to break before putting down the chocolate cake. The hard part is walking out in a straight line...
