I ate dinner at The Bread Company for the first time last night prior to attending a play at the Krannert Center. I had read many reviews of the restaurant and entered with some trepidation. My party had a reservation for ten people at 6:00pm and I was in the last group to arrive - a little late. The other guests were already enjoying a drink while waiting.
The service and food were both outstanding. Our server, Nick, was prompt, polite, and knowledgeable. Everyone's food looked so good. I ordered a vegan pasta dish with vegetables, which was excellent. My wife had one of the unique pizzas and enjoyed it thoroughly. I noticed that at the end of dinner all in our party had left nothing on their plates. We were all full happy campers! Only one member ordered dessert - chocolate mousse. He said it was great.
We were finished with a leisurely dinner and had our bill paid with more than enough time to stroll down the block to see our play. The only negatives were bread that was a bit burnt due to what appeared to be a hot spot in the oven and the meals which were delivered to the table one or two at a time, which seemed a bit odd. However, the overall experience was enjoyed by everyone, making for an excellent prelude to the play. I will definitely come here again.
