I've been to the one in the city and figured I'd give this place a try and have a nice quiet lunch to myself. Upon entering, it said, "Please wait to be seated." A few minutes passed by, and I saw employees walking around but wasn't acknowledged. I noticed the cashiers to my left and walked up. The lady was nice and took my order and told me to have a seat anywhere and that someone would be bringing me my drink. I was low-key annoyed. Why can't they make a sign that says place order with cashier? I looked around for a place to sit. The vibe seemed pretty chill. Decor was simple neutral colors. I took a seat, and a waitress grabbed my ticket. She was super nice and attentive. She was constantly refilling my Arnold Palmer, which was a huge plus. I ordered: 1. Clam chowder - I'm not a huge soup fan, but this was surprisingly tasty and paired well with the cheese toast they provided. 2. Chef's featured steak - This dish came with potatoes and spinach, I believe. I kind of wished it came with a roll. This was delicious, it definitely satisfied my craving. 3. Crème Brûlée - I didn't think I had room for dessert but this was Aaaammmaaazzzing. To be honest, I was surprised for once I finished all my food all by myself. This is rare lol but speaks volumes to how good the food and service was. I'll definitely be back.

2.5 stars (old/dingy vibes) for ambience, 4 (solid) for the food. We had the turkey avocado panini + side salad, tomato basil soup, and salmon with couscous. The star was the tomato soup - great flavor but not overpowering, the perfect amount for 2, and great for dipping sandwiches into! A little underwhelmed by the turkey cold cut slices but the combination of flavors was solid. Side salad was really well seasoned and a great pairing. Salmon was good flavor, but a tad dry; paired well with the couscous though which was great! The service was excellent, but the interiors took me straight back to a weathered Fresh Choice / Sweet Tomato time. I'm not sure it's the weekend lunch experience I want.
