As I showed up first being the only one in the restaurant, the people behind the counter made me feel right at home. They were eager to help and explained their Happy Hour deals, which were awesome - Tap Beers for $2 and Wine for $4. The selection was small but good. Our waitress that dropped off our beers and wine was very nice and she said she'd keep an eye on our beverages but 5 minutes after Happy Hour ended we realized she wasn't coming around. We all realized it was an order at the counter type place but we're hoping she would have kept more of an eye on us like she said. Anyways, as we were enjoying our drinks Chris ordered a small plate which was on the happy hour menu and they asked what we wanted and Chris said basically to surprise us. Surprisingly enough it was amazing and it was avery good spread. We had a little of everything - Mini Pastrami Sandwiches, Mini Tuna Confit Sandwiches, Cous Cous, Asparagus Rolled in Smoked Ham, Brie, Apricots, Salted Almonds, Salami, Panchetta, Roasted Sweet & Hot Peppers, and Pickeled Cucumbers. Need I say anything more it was awesome. Then we had to change our order since everything we wanted we had on our appetizer plate and we wanted to try something different. So we order the Smoked Turkey Sandwich, Steak Sandwich (Special of the Day), White Bean Salad, Spinach Salad, and finally the Squash Soup. Each sandwich came with two little scoops of either Potato Salad, Olive Salad, Pickled Cucumbers, or Cous Cous. Out of the sandwiches we decided the Steak Sandwich was by far our favorite it had a spicy pepper sauce that was unbelievable and the steak was very tender. The Turkey Sandwich had medjool dates and goat cheese on it which also gave it a nice unique flavor that wasn't overpowering. The salads were good and just all around had that healthy taste but the soup definitely was incredible with it's incredible texture and flavor. I'm definitely getting my own the next time I come!! All around we were very pleased and loved the quiet laid back atmosphere. They also kept running tabs for each us which I thought was nice. We'll all definitely return.
