I like to just order appetizers because they are so good. Try the cheese puff things. I wouldn’t call Cognac a hot lunch spot per se, but like I said before the happy hour is pretty great.

Chicken that day was only for sit-down restaurant customers, so I got the salad nicoise. Looked beautiful and the dressing was terrific. The tuna, beans, olives, eggs were great too. BUT, the lettuce, while beautifully arranged in the take out bowl was COMPLETELY unwashed - we're talking major dirt and sand on every piece. Thus the salad was largely inedible. In addition, once they figure out how to use a salad spinner, they could possibly add a few more pieces of lettuce. For an $8 salad it would cost them pennies to double the lettuce and make it a normal lunch size salad - and have happy, returning customers... I got lunch there Tuesday.

Also, they told us that the chicken is primarily for the restaurant which is why they didn't have any for us. We ended up getting the chicken salad which left me hungry and unsatisfied. I will not be back soon. Who doesn't have lunch ready at noon, much less 12:30? We got there at 12:40 today and were told that the chicken was still cooking and needed another 20 minutes.
