It is located where a Wendy's used to be. They have a very good salad bar, which features a nice variety of hot & cold items, including sections of nicely roasted chicken. It runs $6 a pound. They also serve sandwiches, prepared salads, soup, etc., but I have not tried any of those. I really do like the salad bar!

Here's some previous Chez Carla reports: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/419800 http://www.chowhound.com/topics/329794 Seems like you should arrive EXACTLY at 2pm to take advantage of the discout ... 2:15 ... empty trays.

Their spicy chicken sandwich (not hot... but full of spice/flavor, as it's dipped in spanish paprika before being grilled/panini'd, i believe) is the best sandwich I've had in the financial district. I'm heading there now! Tue Oct 30 12:39:37 -0700 2007 2782778 17422 rumorsofsurf
