| - Previous posters were right, it is hard to find. Mission Eatery is located in a nondescript office park and it takes a bit of navigating to locate the building. You also have to pay to park if you're going to be there longer than 30 minutes, and though I'm sure that is the office park's doing and not Mission's, it caused me to bring my food back to my hotel rather than stay and eat as I had planned. Perhaps that was for the better, as I wasn't completely thrilled with my experience. There is no "order here" sign or anything indicating a place to line up, so people milled around the counter waiting for one of the employees to take their order. After a few minutes of confusion and several people jumping ahead of me to order, I finally asked one of the employees if I could place my order with her, or if I needed to order from the gentleman further down the counter (both employees were making food). She asked what I wanted, and I told her that I wanted the Portobello grilled cheddar cheese and a salad. She seemed confused, so I pointed out what I wanted on the chalkboard, as there were a few types of grilled cheese sandwiches available. She said, "I'll just make it". I felt like I was inconveniencing her, but certainly would have ordered from the proper person had she told me to do so. She walked away after giving me my sandwich, so I told another employee that I needed a Mission house salad. She made a salad and placed it on the counter in front of me, but when I asked if it was mine, she said rather curtly, "I'm MAKING yours." Okay. Upon opening my "grilled cheese", I discovered that it was more of a veggie sandwich with a slice of American cheese, which wasn't melted or even warm. It contained kimchi, tomato, roasted red pepper, and lettuce, which made for an interesting sandwich; it just wasn't what I ordered. The Mission house salad was a good concept - kale, cabbage, carrots, and cranberries - but the poppy seed dressing (which tasted a lot like mayo) was slathered on so thickly that it stopped resembling a salad. Maybe ask for the dressing on the side if you order this.
It's always nice to visit a restaurant with quite a few vegetarian options, and the rose-infused pink lemonade was delicious. I was looking forward to a nice lunch after reading previous reviews, but with the confusing ordering process, so-so food, and customer service from folks who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else, it was not enough to bring me back when I'm in the area again.
