As someone who will be mired in student loan debt for the rest of her natural life because of grad school, I tend to go out of my way to avoid any reminders of it. And whaddya know, I wind up going bananas for a restaurant that flaunts that reality so gratuitously in my face. Grad School on Jefferson Avenue is in the space formerly occupied by Acoustic Cafe and Rasta Grill, and from what I hear, has plucked employees and a popular dish from its previous tenants. Here's hoping they stick around longer than the other two incarnations because this place is go-od. That's two-syllable good. The food is affordable, fresh and really well-prepared and the staff and interior exude this super comfortable and inviting vibe. As a result, this place feels like an upscale dive, if that makes any sense. Although, I would imagine that the managment would balk at being called either upscale or a dive -- what I mean is it's clean, yummy and totally relaxed. Walking in we were greeted by any number of employees and when walking out, we received a barrage of appreciative "see yas" and "come agains." Will do. Gladly.
