| - I went there as a party of five last night (6/29) and it was an overall decent experience, FYI-they do not serve alcohol.
They deposited scones and lemon/strawberry muffins in lieu of the typical bread. The scones were very sweet, described by one as similar to fruit loops, and the muffins were decent.
I shared the Portobello Quesadilla and it was the best thing I ordered there. Cooked well, great ingredients and terrific taste.
I also had "The Chuck" hamburger. I had been craving a decent cheeseburger all week and unfortunately, this one fell short. It was made from Angus beef but the burger was rather bland and one other person felt it had a bizarre texture.
The presentation of all the meals, mostly sandwiches, was impressive with the artisan bread from Breadsmith, mixed greens and enormous half-pickles sliced lengthwise skewered on top of the sandwiches. The fresh-cut french fries were also good but a non-cloth basket would have been nice so that we could have added some vinegar to the fries.
Finally, we took a slice of tiramisu home. It was above average but not spectacular.
Ultimately, the portions are large, the food is good, the decor is great, and the price is perhaps above average, (~$37 for 1 quesadilla, 2 chuck burgers, 1 fries and slice of tiramisu). If you desire a place that uses organic ingredients and non-hormonal meat and prefer food prepared on premises, Sweet Melissa's prides itself on those aspects of its business.
I'd likely go again and try some of the other options.
