| - I was curious about this place, and have been wanting to check it out. I looked at the menu online a few times. When the card became available online, I snapped it up (I have a source for discount gift cards).
I like the different choices and different offerings (Pick 2), the bread---I would go there just to buy some bread (the french baguette is yummy!), and the concept is good (responsible ingredients, just below Chipotle in scoring, BTW), the creamy mac & cheese is really good, too. And the kids meals are reasonable. I did notice that the pricing is a bit higher than regular casual restaurants, like neighbor, Chipotle (this is restaurant row, there are a ton of choices). I think I might've been more upset if I had paid regular price for the meal. Just to illustrate how much it was, our dinner was $31.94.
There was an avocado shortage and signs regarding that note was all posted all over. I wanted to try the Cobb salad, but got something instead because, what's the point?
I opted for the "Pick 2": cashew chicken salad and the turkey apple cheddar sandwich on cranberry bread (soft). The salad was good, but I felt it was missing something for more balance on the flavors as it was pretty sweet (I didn't finish it). I liked the sandwich much better though the bread was not toasted. I usually like my bread toasted. That was the only downside. If we were going again, I would order something else. If it were cooler outside, I'd have ordered the soup.
My husband got the "Pick 2": mac & cheese and steak sandwich; the mac & cheese was delicious, and the sandwich sucked---"where 's the meat? it looks nothing like the picture." (yes, those were his words; I think he would score this one a 3 stars).
Our son's meal @ $4.99 (was very good, though, the bread, he didn't eat much of it. His latest thing is he wants to take it home, but then he forgets about it. Don't worry, I've been eating it this week.
We got here a little later on a sunday night and there were some other customers (I think this was the tourist crowd), but it wasn't crowded. It was clean. The fountain drink station is towards the back near the bathrooms (womens has two stalls). The ordering counter and bakery is in the middle, once you walk in through the front doors. Service is good. They bring your food to your table. The seating is to the left and right of this area (kind of L-shaped space restaurant). I noticed a man had his laptop plugged into the wall.
We might come here again, especially, if I get another card.
