Atmosphere was cozy, yet elegant and the bar looked friendly and sizable enough to provide a handy meeting place before going to a show at St. Ann's. The menu offers several interesting sounding mediterranean/greenmarket options, as well as the standby burger. (Gotta appreciate a place that keeps the burger on the dinner menu alongside the $17 entrees.) Curious if anybody has actually eaten there. Any reviews? If not, I'll probably give it a whirl in the next couple of weeks and post one.

They are now open for lunch and have a great back yard garden. Sun Jun 08 21:30:31 -0700 2003 1268538 0 adsf 1 1268563 I ate at Five Front before they technically opened.
