The chicken bites and Mac & cheese were great, but the salad and veal parmesan, although not horrible, did miss their marks, reminding me of dishes served at a nondescript...

We stopped in for lunch to try it out and were very glad we did. They have a good selection of made to order deli sandwiches as well as a good selection of pre made grab and go soups, sandwiches and salads. We chose a tuna salad on a croissant and a Cousin Mike's sandwich and they were both fresh and flavorful. They also offer craft beer and some more upscale foods and Italian specialities that would seem to be a great fit being located right next door to the...
