Editorial Review

This sleek, modern bistro, with its whitewashed walls and cool marble countertops, is often full of lunching doctors. Lining the menu are such plates as chicken–mango salad sandwich, roasted salmon–green bean salad and three-cheese panini with havarti, aged cheddar and goat cheese. Specialty coffees made with rich Illy espresso help patrons extend working hours. Breakfast specials—such as western omelette or scrambled egg sandwich—are served until 10:30 a.m. Mains $6.50–$9.90.
