This is one of my favorite places to get a drink and something to eat. It's a bar with surprisingly good and affordable food. Options for all types of diners. They're open early on weekdays when you'll see lots of people working away. Good for breakfast, lunch and dinner or just a great glass of wine, beer or cocktail. Simple and solid.
