| - After finding this place and parking (it's tucked away in the courtyard behind the 525 N Tyron Building) I was upset to not be impressed with my sandwich...at all.
I called in my order - SouthWest Turkey Panini on Foccacia with Chipotle Aioli, Pickled Onions, Guacamole, and Smoked Gouda ($8) as well as a smoothie ($3) and used the $5 for $10 Yelp coupon...what a deal! The sandwich was ready when I arrived but the smoothie was not...not a big deal, but the line was long and with only two people working on front, they seemed very rushed and stressed.
For starters, the sandwich was warm but was by no means panini grilled. In addition, you can see from the picture, there was hardly any guacamole or gouda cheese, and no aioli. The only discernible tastes were the red onion, which was extremely overwhelming, the turkey, which was plentiful, and the thick, tough bread. The quinoa cous cous on the side was fine, I wasn't expecting to love it and just wanted something healthy.
I did enjoy sitting on the patio in front of the fountains and felt transported out of the inner city for a few moments. This seemed to be a very convenient spot for those that work in the neighborhood.
After enjoying my tacos from their food truck was excited to try this place but was extremely disappointed. What a bummer because everything on the menu looks delicious. If I lived or worked walking distance, I might try again...but in my case, unfortunately no.
