    Quote from the Maine Sunday Telegram:
    "An urban eatery that comes pretty close ot being all things to all people. The clientele is as varied as the tunes in the jukebox. On a recent weekday night, customers included an elderly gent wearing a 1940s suit (complete with fedora), a family of four, all dressed in shorts and t-shirts, and a trendy couple wearing fluorescent sneakers and gold chains."

    [653 Congress Street, immediately east of the Trelawny Building, had previously been home to Soule's Candy Kitchen]
