Oh computer. I had written an entire blog post on
Carpenters Hall at Carpenter Hotel (400 Josephine Street) and the computer ate it. So here's the abbreviated version.
I liked the lunch I had, but I didn't love it; I think the brunch menu interests me more. For a weekday lunch, clientele didn't seem all that diverse. Lots of millennial ladies who lunch, including lifestyle blogger Camille Styles. Loved the decor. Had a great waiter.

Restaurant interior. Love the bench seating and they kept the old union hall banner. |

Corn nuts and what they call mole salami. Which when I asked the waiter about it when ordering, I understood it to be salami with a mole sauce. No, it's salami with a chile oil with some mole-like flavors. Hmmmm. |

Beautiful grains bowl, but honestly, not all that interesting. |

Double burger with some of the most amazing fries I have had anywhere. I would go back just for these. |
