Mehh, I live right by piedmont row(walking distance) and I have walked by here on numerous occasions for walking my dog. I guess there has always been a good reason why I never tried this place. After coming here for lunch today with a friend, I am unimpressed. \nWe came during prime time weekday lunch hour at noon, but most of the cafe is empty...I'd say only 1/3 full. When we entered, we were greeted and seated promptly. I did like our waiter a lot, he seemed professional, good-command of the manner, efficient and courteous (epitome of a good waiter). My friend and I haven't seen each other for a while so we were busy chatting, he told us that whenever we were ready to order we just need to close our menu, that way he'll know we are ready so he would not have to keep coming by to disturb us. This is a very smart idea, more restaurants need to do this!!\nI ordered the 1/2 soup half sandwich of chichken salad on a croissant and italian chicken noodle soup. I was not very happy with neither the sandwich or the soup. First of all, they only have 2 soups for you to choose from, there is no soup menu, it is just whatever soup is designated for soup of the day. I've had way better chicken salad sandwich, the filling was pretty bland, I did not like the flavor. My soup was very greasy, it came out red, I've never had red chicken noodle soup. \nMy friend ordered the pimetto tomato sandwich with bacon with a side of fruit. Her sandwich also looked dry. The fruits that came as a side looked ok, but they are just fresh fruit, a combo of sweet melon, pineapple and large blackberry. \nWe ordered a lemon truffle to share for dessert. That was the BEST part of the meal. The dessert was very rich. I really like the layered presentation, the top is shredded pieces of lemon, then whip cream, then cheesecake, then lemon tart, then ground pecan. Awesome. I will be willing to come back here for dessert but definitely not for a full blown meal. \nAlso, they serve breakfast until 2:30PM.
