| - I wanted to like my meal here, I really did. But it was really lackluster for me. I ordered the vegetarian sandwich with a side of the jalapeno corn salad. It also comes with cole-slaw. The sandwich was only "ok". I like roasted veggies, but the whole wheat sandwich bread didn't do it for me. For a deli turkey, perhaps, but when you have just roasted veggies without anything "meaty" like a giant portabella cap or fatty like avocado, low-profile bread is a let-down and would really be better off on something thicker like ciabatta or foccacia. Also, it soaked up the juice from the slaw and the mushroom salad that I received by mistake, and soggy bread is just no bueno on any occasion. Because I'm not that fussy and it was busy, I didn't say anything about receiving the mushroom salad instead of the jalapeno corn salad, and that's on me. I do like mushrooms very much, but unfortunately the flavor profile of this salad wasn't balanced enough. It was so heavy on the vinegar that it overwhelmed the plate. The slaw was the same--mostly just vinegar and no mayo or oil and not enough sugar (if any) to balance the taste. If I ever went back, I would probably just try something else, because some of the dishes looked great (the salmon salad being one of them), and the price wasn't *too* horrific for a museum setting.
