There is a restorative effect from the leafy park across the street and the feeling of being freed, for a short time, from the urban thrall. A few sidewalk tables are used in good weather. The place gets a bit noisy as it fills up, but it's still pleasant. And you could probably find your next job by eavesdropping on the next table. Full food service is available at the bar, so you might squeak in without reservations, but I recommend you reserve or come early if you aren' t alone.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there's always something within a block.
In the hours between lunch and dinner, a collection of tapas-like dishes is available. When it comes to choosing a meal, depend on the specials, which will be posted on a blackboard. You might be able to enjoy a duck confit with marinated carrots and a hazelnut vinaigrette or roast duck breast with a honey-lime sauce and green cabbage braised with bacon. Light breakfast, lunch, dinner M-Sa. Beer and wine.
