There’s a cool factor at this River North lunch mecca that puts it in a league apart from its dowdy salad bar contemporaries: You can watch a movie while you eat, sprawl out at a communal table, even get in a round of miniature golf. In addition to an 18-foot fresh veggie and hot bar, it’s teeming with greatest-hits offerings from some of its sister spots, like Small Cheval burgers and the second coming of Dillman’s pastrami.
