All lunches come with the salad and drink bar. The carrot salad was juicy with a light, sweet cream dressing. The arugula was seasoned with sea salt and a bit of Italian dressing that seemed house-made. The renkon (lotus root) had a basil flavor (a nice change for this Japanese veggie), the quiche was buttery and smooth (it was actually a squash quiche).
I went for the chilled carbonara pasta since this seemed a bit different to me. The pasta was really cold almost as if ice cubes were added just before serving. This added a nice bite to the fresh pasta. The sauce was milky and light, and used freshly grated parmesan cheese. The runny egg was a nice addition to contrast the saltiness of the cheese and prosciutto.
The coffee was surprisingly fresh tasting, even though it appeared to be sitting out a while. With the lounge music, it feels like a hotel lobby restaurant/bar.
