Banter

This neighborhood spot pairs its daytime energy with a menu centered on customizable plates. The signature Banter Bowl packs pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, and edamame with a miso ponzu dressing, with the option to add grilled chicken. For something different, the kitchen turns out a chicken sandwich on a sesame bun. While it serves as a popular local fixture for coffee and takeout, the experience can vary: service speed and attentiveness can occasionally be inconsistent, at times leaving visitors feeling rushed.
