panini's recently moved into the old panorama location on detroit and clague. i stopped in for lunch; noticing the cute little patio they had set up, we decided to sit outside. there was just one problem. we couldn't find a hostess to seat us. we stood at the hostess podium for 10-15 minutes, being totally ignored by all of the waitstaff and the bartender. finally, the hostess showed up - only to tell us it would be a 15 minute wait (even though there are open tables.) umm.. okay.
so, we sat inside. the table was dirty, and there were families with small children around us. enough said. all hostess issues aside, the food was good (we all got overstuffed sandwiches,) and our server was really sweet to us even though we were clearly disgruntled. that being said, i'd give them another chance.
