Panera's weird cousin. So came to this place with high hopes. The selection of soups was great. I had the roasted red pepper lobster. It had great flavor. My husband had the chipotle chicken salad - he didn't like the amount of dressing but that could easily be fixed by asking the staff to go light on the dressing. I also had the veggie sandwich which was disappointing. My husband also had the chicken pesto panini which lacked all flavor. The pesto was remiss in that it seemed non existent. The sandwich was also a tad messy in that it seemed to be heavy on the sauce.
The thing that seemed to be a little ridiculous was that they charged .69 for croutons. This was a condiment cup size of croutons. It just seemed a little unnecessary. They did provide a dinner roll for both meals purchased. But I would have rather had croutons than a free dinner roll. Also the chocolate covered strawberries were a nice touch and delicious. We decided to try the mixed berry creme brule - which was more like a pudding than a custard. Also a little dull in flavor.
Finally, the store only offers traditional sugar and Splenda. If you aren't partial to those options then too bad. Overall the price of the food for what was given wasn't impressive. I think we will stick with Panera bread for now.
