| - Stopped by Wedge & Bottle again recently to pick up a sandwich. While there, I noticed some improvements on the things I didn't like on my first visit. It appeared that they are offering drinking water for their customers (without charging by the bottle) now. Cool. I also observed them pouring some wines by the glass, and their pours are now very reasonable--not the pitiful one I received many months ago (*see old photo). So, it looks like they've taken some steps in the right direction.
As far as my sandwich that I ordered recently...it was okay. I mean, the quality was great. And the preparation was perfect. It's just that the "fancy" cheeses they use are a bit robust for my (likely) unrefined palate. Just wish they also offered some "simpler" sandwich options as well. I'm not talking about bologna with American cheese necessarily, just something with a slightly less pungent backnote in the flavor.
One of the employees recommended some beers to me as well. He was dead-on with his recommendations too. Very cool. I like trying new beers, and those were some quality ones I bought. I do wish they kept a few in a fridge as well so I could have enjoyed them that night though. It was sort of like bringing a kid to a toy store, buying him a shiny new toy, but making him wait until the next day before he could play with it. Excitement and a bummer all at once.
Regardless, I am a fan of this place. It's a great concept; and it was really packed during my last visit, so they must be doing something right. I just don't see a need (yet) for me, personally, to visit more frequently.
