Name that restaurant challange

Okay, so I read this article about a new restaurant that I really wanted to try. However, I forgot what it was, and, more importantly, why exactly I wanted to try it. Perhaps my fellow hounders can help.

What I remember is this: it's in (or very near) Highland Park. Or maybe in uptown on McKinney? It's new (<six months old). It has either like a Euro bistro type feel or is kinda like a deli. I think I remember the sandwiches sounding good. If I recall correctly, its focuses (is that the right word) on take out as much as dine in. Definately stuck in my mind as a lunch place (maybe because their only open for lunch, or maybe just because that's what the food sounded like). I think I read about it on the Dallas Observer site. Seems like a one-word name, too.

Not much to go on, but your help is appreciated.

    Sounds like Carbone's. Here's an article about them from the Dallas Observer:

        Actually all I did was Google "highland park dallas observer lunch" and it was the first result. Praise be to Google!

        Hmm, are you talking about Snack on Henderson?

          Not Snack, which does sound interesting; however, have heard some meh reviews.

            It's an Avner restaurant ... that was all I really needed to know, but I also frequent a nearby business which has expanded. I was told that they dropped by to discuss Snack's serving apps at a soft opening event for the expansion, and were told that the restaurant was far too busy for that. That sounds like the attitude I still remember so well from Aurora ... is giving your close neighbors the finger really a good idea? Apparently they think yes. Meanwhile I have a list of 25+ other restaurants I want to try. Snack will probably be closed by the time I complete that list ...
