| - The chilly, rainy weather today put me in the mood for some nice hot homemade soup. However, it also deterred me from going to the Strip to get it, so I decided to head down the street instead to Eat Unique.
I must admit that after having picked up an unimpressive sandwich (don't remember which) from here a couple of years ago before a trip, I'd been hesitant to patronize this place again. Having reviewed other Yelpers' comments, I decided to opt for a small tomato basil feta soup and the pesto chicken sandwich, which came to slightly over $10 together. Because I went today (Sat.), it wasn't very busy, and I didn't encounter any confusion or hostility when ordering. After ordering, my food took about 5 min. to prepare. Since I live nearby, I took it back to my apt. to consume.
The tomato soup, which was reasonably warm, although not quite as hot as I'd like it, was pretty good, albeit not mind-blowing. The sandwich was solidly okay, and not as flavorful as I would have liked, esp. for something containing pesto. Although it stayed together fairly well, the ingredients slid around a fair bit, and it cooled off pretty quickly, to the point that I put the second half in the microwave before eating it.
While the food was solidly okay, esp. for deli food in PGH, I've had better. I prefer to patronize independent local businesses over chains, but I'd say the food is a step up from Subway, but doesn't quite meet the standard of the food at Panera.
