| - I've eaten at this location of Sauce twice now, and I have to say I am not impressed.
The first time I ate here I had nearly the same impression as I did on today's visit. It was just okay.
The Good: The tomato soup is consistently yummy. I mean, you can't really go wrong with tomato soup, but this is pretty addictive.
The homemade chips are also pretty good, but it feels like they have too much cheese on them somehow... and I don't even really taste cheese. Weird!
The restaurant is cute enough. And it looks like their pizzas are yummy. I believe they even have a pizza and wine deal some nights. Fun!
The Blah: The turkey and fontina panini is BORRRRINNNNNG. Yes, it has pesto on it. But the pesto is virtually tasteless (or, at least, it was today). The panini also tasted like plain white bread. Also, I was not expecting shredded lettuce (soggy and some leaves were brown) and tomato (light red... yuck).
The Ugly: On today's visit, our ticket was closed out before all the food was delivered. That means DH got his sandwich 10 -15 minutes before DD. And he was finished before we finally figured out they forgot about my sandwich completely. We went up to the host stand and she looked into it and went through at least twelve tickets before she found ours. I had my sandwich 3 minutes after that. She flatly said "Sorry," but did not offer to get a manager or do ANYTHING for us.
We were running late so we just left.
For just under $25, the price was a little high for the small portions of mediocre food. Will I return? Possibly... just to try the pizza. But someone needs to step up their game because no wait staff even asked how we were doing the entire time we were there. Had they done so, we could have told them we were missing our food.
An aside... I hate when restaurants don't time the food to arrive at the same or nearly the same time. It is really awkward to have to choose to have someone at the table let their food get cold as they wait for their dining companions' food to come out. Both times I dined at Sauce, our food was delivered several minutes apart (or longer, in today's snafu).
