This restaurant was set by a couple. Paul and Jessica Urban took over a little-known downtown gyro spot and turned it into the city鈥檚 most popular lunch spot. The couple, both trained in fine dining, created a solid list of classic dishes, including a burger that鈥檚 one of the best in the city, as they faded out the gyros.

These days they work up creative daily lunch specials that range from standard (a killer Reuben) to wacky (crispy fried chicken hearts on fresh corn tortillas with Salvadoran crema, hot sauce, pickled peppers, cilantro slaw, and crushed pork rinds). To say the least, the dishes are delicious.
