I love this place. I love the sandwiches. The soups are the best ever. I love the fireplace. I love the staff. I HATE the parking. Even if you get one of the few spaces, there is always the worry that someone with less than optimal driving skills will hit your car. Several times we've gone there hoping to have lunch and gone elsewhere because there is no place to park.
