I've always enjoyed eating at this nice place, especially for lunch, and that goes back to when they were located on Lawndale Drive. The layout and atmosphere here is very pleasant, much better than the noisy, low ceciling configuration at the original location. There are two levels of seating, with seating spaced adequately for some privacy in conservation. There is also some outside seating, subject to weather considerations.
I especially enjoy the lunch menu because they have always been creative with sandwiches and salads. The Grilled Salmon Salad with a blood orange vinaigrette is different, and nice, as is the Oriental Salad with skewers of beef tenderloin OR tofu on a bed of noodles dressed with an herbed vinaigrette. The Salad Nicoise is a pretty traditional version (at least a pretty traditional American version of the French classic), while the makeup of the Chicken Salad seems to change daily.
They offer a nice Smoked Salmon plate, a Pate and Cheese plate (freaturing duck liver pate), ana Mediterranean plate with a very good hummus. My sandwich favorites: any burger, They have a nice veggie sandwich (can't remember the menu name), the Serape Havanna with pulled pork, the Sgt Pepper with turkey, cheeswe, and a pepper jelly that is very good. But, my all time favorite is the Crab Cake sandwich - simply outstanding
The service here has always been a little bit funky, a little bit inconsistent, especially at peak periods. I find going early can keep this negative aspect to a minimum. Parking can be problematic, but there is a garage right behind the restaurant. Finally, this is not the cheapest place in downtown Greensboro to get a salad or sandwich for lunch, but I find the experience of food and atmosphere to be worth the price.
