| - A surprise winner! I avoided going to Mumbles for almost two months, since every time I passed the place was empty. What a mistake! From the outside it seems to be just another bar that serves sandwiches. But these are not ordinary sandwiches. The fresh paninis are just different enough to wake up your taste buds. Try a Long Island Louie. Better yet, check out the hot-pressed tortillas. Think of it as a roll-up pressed into a panini oven and grilled, then sliced into quarters and served standing up like a sushi roll with a dipping sauce. I had the Mumbles Crumbles with shaved beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and a blue cheese sauce. Great!
And ask about dessert. Don't be discouraged that there's nothing on the menu except granita. The banana split was a delight. I don't even like banana splits but was talked into it after being shown a picture. It was not your usual gooey mess, but had a single banana sliced, covered with sugar, then broiled to caramelize it, topped with three small scoops of ice cream, nuts, berries, brownie bites and pound cake bites.
The atmosphere was cozy on the inside with a cute patio in front. The service was very friendly, but a bit too slow to warrant five stars.
