We had an excellent experience at this place! I met a friend of mine for lunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at NxNW. We sat outside in a cozy outdoor area. What I liked about the outdoor area was that you couldn't even tell that the restaurant was positioned at a fairly busy intersection. They did a great job with the landscaping in order to insulate you. Our server was outstanding! She was highly attentive without being annoying. To start off, since neither of us had been there before, we had the beer sampler. I highly recommend doing this for first timers. That way you can pick the best beer. I'm sorry to say that the beer is where I had my first complaint. I was surprised that about a third of them were lacking taste. I ended up settling on the seasonal brew. In my opinion, they should add that to their standard repertoire. As for the food, I was highly impressed! The quality was outstanding, especially for the price. Most lunch items were under $10.00. I got the portabello mushroom flatbread wrap, and it was wonderful! I highly recommend it!
