SET ?

has anyone tried out "SET" ( the new place where the old Cunningham's on 4th used to be)?

The silence is deafening.

I ate lunch there recently, had the club sandwich. It had been a while since I'd been to Cunningham's so it's hard to remember well enough for a comparison, but it doesn't seem a lot different. It's a good choice for a typical American menu if you're eating downtown.

Their web page says, "Catering to the casual lunchtime crowd during the day & the theater crowd later in the evening, Set at Theatre Square has paired concepts to entertain both the family & adult crowd." I must admit I haven't eaten there and that I won't be part of the "casual lunchtime crowd."However, I go to a fair amount of shows at the Palace. Their dinner menu has nothing on it to tempt me away from Marketplace Restaurant at Theater Square.

I thought SET was the brother of Osiris?

I've eaten there twice for lunch, and came away impressed. Good space, good service, good price point ($9-11 for most lunch entrees), and fairly creative food for the price point.

Thanks, Scott! Good to know. I'll nudge it up my to-do list.

Dropped in while visiting recently and would echo what Scott S. said and add that I was served an excellent Manhattan while there. Full disclosure requires me to say a friend's son has an ownership interest, but I was honestly impressed with the decor, etc.

It's not a destination fine dining restaurant but fulfills their stated mission.
