"3"^^ . "2"^^ . "There was construction at my apartment building so I was looking for a quiet spot for a cell phone recharge, reading moment, and lunch. I needed to be on the westside for a movie outing afterwards for I explored the Old Sauk area for a spot. I walked through all the restaurant spots in the Old Sauk Row. The counter person at Barrique was helpful as she pointed out all the possible outlets. The other restaurant choices in Old Sauk Row had no outlet options.\n\nBarrique fit the bill for a place with an outlet and food, so I plugged in. It was not as quiet as I was hoping for. The low din was a bit distracting to read my paperback so I switched to a magazine. Barriques is a good place to socialize as many small groups of people were having great conversations. Coffee or wine. Sandwiches or Desserts...something for everybody. But I learned a Saturday at lunch time is just not a good time to try to slip into a book.\n\nI ordered the Cuban sandwich and a Miel expresso drink. The Miel was good but could have used a bit more honey. The Cuban used very good quality pork and cheese. But it was made almost inedible due to the Napalm Mustard that was used. That mustard had to have had horseradish or something that went right into my nose on each bite. I took the bottom of the bread off so I could at least eat the meat and cheese. I would try it again without the mustard and hope for the best.\n\nThe Old Sauk location is a small store front but has many tables. The counter area is well stocked and easy to view choices. I will not be hard pressed to come back if the opportunity arises."^^ . . . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . "2016-01-27T00:00:00"^^ .
