I tried the Lunchbox Laboratory after reading your article in this weeks paper. Great little spot, big, big portions but quite good.

We've had dinner twice at the Il Giardino Italian Restaurant. Very nice, well run operation. The veal, pasta, chicken dishes all very good as were the salads. The wines are a little pricey as they are most places but good selection. We also like the Monkey Bridge on Northwest Market Street. Nice clean interior and many Vietnamese offerings including pho.
