This was a real disappointment. Being a huge Tom Colicchio fan, I wanted to like...no... love this place. My Mother's Day Brunch at CraftSteak a few years ago is one my favorite food memories ever and I have several of his Cookbooks.
During my visit for an early lunch/late breakfast, I kept imagining Tom's critique of my Mozzarella, Provolone, Roasted Tomato and Olive Pannini if a Top Chef Contestant had made it.
"The Mozzarella had too much water, which made the bread soggy. The Tomatoes and Olives were flavorless and needed salt. The Provolone was nonexistent. Please pack your knives and go."
The only reasons I am giving them 2 stars is that the staff was friendly and helpful and my Iced Latte was very good.
