Lots of places for a sandwich
Cafe Lily has an excellent lunch menu with a number of sandwich and salad choices,
Big Tex Cantina, Andryannis Bistro Cafe,several pita places, Jimmy Johns
Not sure why you don’t think Sawicki’s, Farm Burger or Taqueria are not good lunch choices.
Cafe Lily is also a good date night choice.
Close to the City is Southern Sweets with great sandwich and salad selections

@ Rebecca-I didn’t say that we needed coffee shops.

Plethora of lunch places…… Where can you get a sandwich in Decatur other than Sawicki’s? Where can you get a bagel in Decatur? Where can you get a salad? I don’t think that Sawicki’s, Farm Burger and Taqueria are enough good choices for lunch.

That said, I don’t think Cakes and Ale and Leon’s are enough good choices for “date night” either. But I will say that I have reservations that a raw bar, run by Front Page News folks, will succeed.

@ stroller hater- Strollers are so easy to hate. Don’t be a cliche, bro.

I want to qualify my enthusiasm: if the theme is indeed harbor/beachside, please, please please do not let them play the predictable Jimmy Buffet/reggea/James Taylor/acoustic-guitar-player-on-deck-in-Florida-panhandle music!

I’m excited to have a raw bar! I like Fontaine’s but sometimes don’t feel like getting into the crowd and pick up scene over there.

SH ain’t me!

To Law Piggy, there are a plethora of coffee shops and lunch places everywhere you look and all are accommodating to folks with kids, and that’s fine for lunch. But there aren’t really many places around that are for the date night crowd, where people don’t feel comfortable bringing their kids. (Not many of the parents here have that mentality, but they are out there for sure)

It’s great to be accommodating to families, but anyone who has been out on a Friday or Sat. night, knows there aren’t really many places around considered off limits to kids. It’s fine to have a few of those places around too.
