Ooh my word, I can not express how refreshing it is to have such an amazing and healthy option in Carolina Place Mall. I am not a fan of this mall however with a teenager who LOVES this place my hubby and I end up here bored and hungry and sometime resort to having to eat CRAP in the food court. Of course you have Harpers there however it's more stuffy than Fresh To Order and easily forgetable as well.
Now lets get started, from the moment you enter into this restaurant whether you enter from outside or from the mall the staff is extremely welcoming. They immediately acknowledge your presence and offer you a menu to review (hand held).
The open FIRE is Beautiful and an attention grabber as well as the Tea and Lemonade bar where they have everything from Mint Lemonade to Strawberry Lemonade and various fresh brewed tea flavors.
The FOOD is FRESH I guess that is why the name of this place is Fresh To Order. I had the Salmon Panini it was Bourbon marinated salmon, avocado, lettuce, tarragon aioli, corn cilantro relish on Cibatta with a side of green apples. My husband had the tomato and mozzarella panini with chicken and a side of house made chips. WE both cleaned our plates it was sooooo GOOD.
Soo Good I say, I went back the next day to pick up dinner. This time I had the Asian Salad with Salmon and my husband had the Waldorf Chicken Panini. Can you say TWICE as NICE .. TWO times the CHARM.. Satisfaction AGAIN.
The restaurant is clean, welcoming, comfortable and very inviting.
Even the GM was walking around sweeping and wiping tables while checking on customers he was very nice as well (His name is Tim) and readily available to discuss the concept and future plans for the franchise in NC.'
The ONLY reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is because it is located at my least favorite mall. If it was at Southpark mall I'd give 5 stars :-)
