| - I'm not familiar with the Earl of Sandwich chain, but the whole Tudor imagery thing seems so very 70's. And yet somehow it appears less ludicrous in Vegas where everything has to have some theme no matter how contrived. This busy sammie shop is in the middle of the hubbub of activity in the Planet Hollywood's never-ending Miracle Mile Shopping Center. Gee, maybe it would have helped to have the staff dress like a cut-rate Masterpiece Theater production of "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" because the food deserved a beheading.
OK, it wasn't that bad ...just unexceptional. It reminds me of the equally mediocre Cosi chain in New York where they serve up sandwiches between flattened, toasted buns over-doused with dressing. I had the Veggie, which had feta cheese, lettuce, a Roma tomato, cucumber, red onion, roasted red peppers & Mediterranean dressing (see my photo). I just remember that it was mostly wet and turning quickly into a sponge as I was munching it. The Tomato Soup almost saved it, but it was scorching hot...why oh why do chains always do that?
FOOD - 2 stars...unexceptional veggie sammie...off to the gallows with you and Anne Boleyn
AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...one busy mall with jiggling masses of cornbelt tourists in heaven here
SERVICE - 2.5 stars...it's just a line and a tray
TOTAL - 2 stars...the Earl needs to be exiled to Togo's
