| - I had lunch here yesterday, and holy crap did I love my grilled cheese sandwich. Despite being relatively simple, it was one of the best restaurant versions I've ever had. The bread was wonderful (and stayed crisp the whole time!), the cheese was gooey and melty, and the oven-roasted tomatoes added a wonderful smokiness to the sandwich. Imagine the flavor of hearty marinara sauce without the actually messy sauce, and that's what these tomatoes were like. And I got it with bacon, of course! Coleslaw on the side to lighten things up, and I was a happy camper. I ate the whole thing, and since I generally have only a moderate appetite, I think that shows wise portion sizes on the part of Park Bruges. The sandwich was $9 with bacon, I believe $8 without.
I also got the "side salad" which was $7, and seemed expensive, but it was also enormous. 2 people could easily share this and each person's portion would still be larger than your usual "side salad." I loved the sweet walnuts, and tangy cheese on top to keep the salad exciting.
Service was a little slow, but our server was very friendly and brought us some bread and butter since we were so hungry. They were busy, but not packed, at 1:15 on a Saturday. Lunch is a great way to get a taste of this place for a smaller price - and they offer their macaroni and cheese at lunch too! I wanted so badly to order it, but I was determined to try something new and I'm so glad I did. I could eat one of those grilled cheese sandwiches every day.
