Had lunch here after getting my nails done in the Waterfront. It's your standard Panera - lots of seating and a sunny room from all the windows. Our food was made very quickly, even though the place was pretty busy (lunch on a Saturday). Chicken noodle soup is tasty, but there was too much broth and not enough noodles and chicken. I tried their Sierra Chicken sandwich for the first time, and it was pretty good. It's very flavorful, I like whatever they put in their chipotle mayo. It was a salty meal though - definitely had me running to the fountain machine to get more water.
If I have to get a quick, light meal and only chain options are available, Panera is my best choice. It's definitely predictable and usually tasty. But there isn't much special about it, of course.
