J wanted a light lunch in central. Dressed was one of the suggested options. I'd never been there before so decided to give it a shot. Environment:Although the restaurant itself was packed with people picking up quick fixes, there actually aren't many sitting down for lunch inside the restaurant itself, so J and I managed to find seats pretty quickly.

Environment:
Although the restaurant itself was packed with people picking up quick fixes, there actually aren't many sitting down for lunch inside the restaurant itself, so J and I managed to find seats pretty quickly. People are stressed. You see them waiting impatiently, looking around, checking their evil portable devices once every 4 seconds...punching the keys fervently to reply an email..sigh. Good thing J wasn't doing that.
There was one such mini-sunflower placed on each table. Sweet Your food choices:
Food:
Caesar Salad (romaine, parmesan, portobello for anchovies, croutons) with Grilled chicken $68
Not bad, really. Originally they had anchovies inside the salad but I do not like anchovies so I asked if I could have portobello mushrooms instead. They allowed the change, without charging me additional. Great!Romaine hearts were crisp, sweet, cold and fresh. No unwanted, wilted, stringy chunks. The salad bowl itself was chilled - came out of the freezer or something. The croutons were solid, not very crunchy, but flavorful (which i appreciate). Grilled chicken was subpar - tasted kind of weird without dressing. I wouldn't call the chicken tender...but it wasn't too rough.
Don't underestimate this bowl of leaves. It will leave you full and satisfied after the lunch. Unexpectedly satisfied. I'm a big eater - so i'm sure all the fit and thin office ladies out there with bird appetites will find this salad too filling. Another tip - eat slowly. That way you feel as if you'd eaten more than you actually have. Fill the pauses with good conversation, laughter and a bit of your friend's soup.
Conclusion:
Good place to lunch at. Really don't wanna be so full - will fall asleep. Next time I come I'm gonna try something with baby spinach.
