. "1"^^ . "I'm debating between a one and a two star.\n\nThe food was...boring and poorly prepared. I ordered tomato soup and the \"gourmet grilled cheese,\" after being assured it was vegetarian. I received a panini-pressed cheese sandwich with bacon on it, and a lukewarm cup of soup that could have easily been from a can.\n\nThe sandwich was pathetic. The cheese wasn't melted (I could count the number of slices on the sandwich). The tomato was tasteless. The bacon (while I didn't eat it) looked soggy and/or rubbery. The bread looked (and tasted) like cheap store-bought sandwich bread. I'm not sure what made it gourmet. Even if everything was right, it was still just a tomato, bacon, cheese sandwich. That's hardly gourmet. Hook me up with some fancy aioli, or maybe some garlic jelly, or something unusual if you're going to call it gourmet.\n\nAlso, a grilled cheese sandwich is different from a panini sandwich. A good grilled cheese has that buttery, crispy exterior. This was just ... bread. That tasted slightly grilled.\n\nI only decided on the grilled cheese and soup because the other vegetarian options were not enticing. I don't know why restaurants convince themselves that a portobella, a garden burger, and/or a vegetarian pizza are the be-all end-all of vegetarian cuisine. And after eating those same entrees for years on end, paying through the nose at a place like Sharp Edge for the same old crappy portobella cap just isn't something I want to do.\n\nThe only saving grace of the evening was the super-pleasant server. She apologized profusely at the mix-up with the sandwich, and was prompt and friendly throughout the evening.\n\nShort of it: I would not go back."^^ . "2"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ .
