"This restaurant is a little difficult to find as it is located in a school on the 10th floor. Food was delicious. I had the portobello mushroom sandwich that I enjoyed. If you go at lunch time, I'd suggest getting there a bit earlier as they have a lunch hour rush and you may be required to wait."
