I had a working lunch today at the Final Course Cafe here in Northfield, my first time at this great new establishment. I highly recommend it for the excellent food, the pleasing ambience, and the good service. I had to wait a few minutes for my colleagues to arrive, and wound up talking to the owner, a very nice guy who opened our conversation by asking, "Ever eaten at this place?" I knew from that question that he was either the neighborhood crank or the owner.
I had the "Robust Genoa Italian" panini and some potato salad to eat and a chocolate malt as a quasi-beverage - all three were fantastic. Next time I go, I'll trade in the malt, good as it was, for one of their desserts or maybe a truffle. Going later and having a coffee in one of the easy chairs is an enticing option, too.
