I stopped in last week and had a great lunch, although we were sitting close to the window in the main dining room and my companion complained that the brushed aluminum chair got so cold that he "froze his ass off before the cheese course arrived."
I wasn't suffering quite so badly, partly because I was paying attention to the wonderful chicken pot pie, under an airy square of puff pastry, and a crisp, satisfying side of celery root slaw. The braised short rib on a puddle of creamy polenta was even better. (And my dogs were thrilled to get the bone later).
And yes, bread pudding is getting to be as ubiquitious around town as creme brulee -- but Tio's version is extraordinary. Almost worth freezing your ass off to eat.
Lunch hours are Wednesday through Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
