This restaurant is located in the old Create Cafe space on E. Camp Lowell and Swan. They still have a nice front patio area but the inside has been 'dehumanized' with a lot of metal and grey's and shiny black surfaces. It wasn't crowded at all; in fact, i think there were just 3 other tables of diners but if it was filled with people, i think it would be noisy because of the tile floors and the metal chairs. There were no booths.
The menu was fairly small with some entrees being available in 1/2 portions. The food was good but nothing really special. I'd go back here again in a social double-date situation but its not going to be on our list of just-bill-and-i dinner places.
We shared relish salad which was tasty; lots of spring mix and veggies and some marinated onion rings. No bread was served which struck me as unusual. then we also split 2 different sandwiches; a pulled pork and a chicken-avocado club. Both sandwiches came with a vinegary coleslaw which was good; the waitress kept referring to it as a kraut slaw. the bread was way too thick on both sandwiches. I think their menu said it was brioche which in my opinion is breakfast bread toasted with butter and jelly not to be used to anchor a sandwich filling.
The pork was marinated in this sweet sauce which was flavorful but too sweet and the chicken sandwich was sort of tasteless and i think one of the reasons could have been the thickness of the bread which just overpowered the entree.
The music coming from the partitioned with a couch wine bar area was way too loud; at a volume more consistent with a dance hall or sports bar.
