My friend & I like to go out for lunch (at least) once a year. Our birthdays are close together so that’s our excuse. We are looking for ideas of where to go. Here’s what we want:
Dairy or pareve
Good salads available (not just salad bar) but not only salads
Not too crowded
Cheaper is always better but this time we’d consider fancier, too.

Any suggestions? (Please include why you’re suggesting it & how expensive it is-closer to a pizza/bagel shop or closer to a nice fleishig meal)

We really like The Upper Crust. They have really food and we love their salads. (I loveeee their sweet potato salad, so good!) Prices are pretty average. You can get their menu online if you'd like. Enjoy!!

Curious…Do they have table service or do you order at the counter & have to go pick up your order when it’s ready?

That’s where we’re going if we don’t find someplace new. (We’ve been before)

As of now, it looks like our choices are

Out to lunch
The Upper Crust (the one on Kennedy-not the pizza place)
Kalamata

The first one being a bit cheaper (and also counter ordering-unless that has changed), the other two are more expensive with waiter service.

Any other suggestions or comments on these?

Kalamata is a more upscale vibe, restaurant style.
I like Caffoteria because you can order and pay at your table straight from your phone. They bring it to your table. I'm not a huge salad person so not sure about that. It's also pretty quick with more seating than OTL.
I've never been to Sugo but I think it's also a nice place for lunch, maybe a bit different than what the others mentioned.

Has anyone ever been to Sugo? I looked at the website-definitely interesting. I’d love more info.
