Winning extra points for style - from the cool sign to the forks hanging from the ceil-
ing - this hip little eatery serves up comfort food and classics with a little extra flair. Al-
though dinner goes up to $30, there's still plenty to munch on in the $15-and-under cat-
egory. There's also a newer location on the
east side

Upscale entrees - think sesame seared tuna or New York strip steak - are what you'll find
in this intimate restaurant that's surprisingly stylish given its strip-mall location. The prix-
fixe lunch is a bargain: $12 gets you soup or salad, main course and dessert.

It's hard to describe the strip-mall location: pleasingly neutral? Not at all strip
mally? No matter, the food is the draw, both in quality and variety, with everything from
sandwiches to Chilean sea bass on the menu.
