Fodor's Review:

Get high-quality meals at bargain-basement prices at this trendy yet surprisingly down-to-earth restaurant that shares a roof with Leonardo's by the Slice. Some call the small dining room cramped, while others find the close quarters to be romantic. However you look at it, the menu is full of comfort foods with a twist, such as maple-roasted chicken breast, spicy shrimp pasta, seared-tuna club sandwich, and butternut-squash bisque. In keeping with its unpretentious atmosphere, guests are invited to pick their own wine from the restaurant's wine rack. For a lighter meal and a lighter price, order from the lunch menu in the evening.
