| - First time here. Came in with my partner. Staff was friendly enough, but not entirely helpful when it came to the menu. Partner approached counter to order for us and was confused about the pick 2 option (he thought the three options denoted the sizes of small, medium, and large, and was thrown off by the fact that pick 2 was cheaper than a half sandwich and misread the sign), but no one wanted to answer his question. To echo someone else's review on this page, they just sort of stared at him.
Still confused, and wanting to be able to share with me and eat now because we were starving, he ended up getting a full sized steak and cheese panini. That was a mistake. It was basically bread. $9 for bread with almost nothing inside it. The meat inside was reduced to a teeny, thin slice in each half of the sandwich. It was so tiny it barely covered half of a half sandwich. My stomach cried; why not cover the whole bread? Is there a meat shortage? If I could describe its thickness, I would say it was maybe the thickness of a house key or two? I was just flabbergasted that for a $9ish sandwich, they were so stingy on the meat. It was a nearly empty, lonely set of bread slices. The skinny slab of meat did taste fine, but we left hungry and unsatisfied.
I forgot to mention-- they pushed a buy one, get one free cookie deal on him, but failed to mention that the meal already comes with a cookie. I know that is a given to people who've already gone to Paradise, but we didn't know? Well, for all those who love cookies, you might still be able to take advantage of the deal if it's still going on.
I do want to add-- there was a man there who I had separately ordered a smoothie from, and he was very nice and helpful. He took my order and brought the smoothie directly to me. The smoothie was tasty and helped me refocus on my work.
Anyway, I wonder if my feelings would be different if a different sandwich was chosen. If I ever return again, we will see.
