For second time this month, a basic waterfront eatery shuts down

no fan of chains, but this placed majorly sucked.

The area does need more lower priced lunch places - can't eat at gourmet restaurants every meal! This place, however, had fairly pedestrian sandwiches at not that cheap prices - cheaper than Flour (who isn't) but not really worth the walk there.

Far enough away from the most of the occupied buildings, meaning you had to go there on purpose, without much to draw you there. They didn't do themselves any favors either - web site presents itself as a place to get lunch for large groups only - prices presented as per person based on minimum of 5 people. Had to actually walk in and ask to find out I could buy just one sandwich and as I said, it was ok.

Yelp reviews kinda say the same - out of the way, ok food, etc. Some also talk about minimal heating of paninis (pressing for 10 seconds at most, not closing lid, etc.), resulting in lukewarm hot sandwiches. I never noticed (went there twice) any evidence of not being clean but others have noted.

They could have created a niche for themselves for people who didn't want to spend $$$ at Flour, Bees Knees, Pastoral, etc. but didn't - Metro has more stuff and closer to the action. This location will be centrally located once the current construction is complete - will be prime for whoever takes over lease.

Too easy to blame big brother on this one.
