Great addition to lunch options downtown. My colleague and I enjoyed our meals very much. The team was pleasant and knowledgeable although a bit over attentive, but that was likely because we were there for a late lunch and the crowd had thinned out. I love the mission of this nonprofit restaurant and will be definitely going back. Plus the menu and food are delicious.
