| - Ahhh, Hemingway's. What to say, what to say. I go here about 10x a year. I work across the street. It serves as a standby for coworker lunches, after-work drinks and the occasional take out lunch (I like to take out from here in those -20+ temps b/c then I don't have to go far).
I have tried many of the menu items, but as of late, I only ever order the clubhouse sandwich with a side caesar. I love it b/c it is simple, yet delicious. A couple of wins on this meal: good caesar, not under-dressed, sandwich is neat and tidy and uniform, the chicken is tasty, the bacon is never undercooked. The mayo on the side has some sort of crack-cociane in it, truly delicious and addictive.
What do I dislike about Hemingway's? Food is relatively uninspired and ho-hum. The service is either great or terrible, never in between. Finally, they almost always screw up my take out order and I'm so rushed and dumb that I often forget to check (perhaps the last time it happened will finally be the last time! I'm not that foolish, I hope). Nothing worse then getting back to your desk and realizing that the crack-mayo is not included or they gave me fries instead of salad. For that Hemingway's, you get 3 stars.
Don't waste your time here AND ALSO don't worry about ending up here. A true 3-star place.
