    I ordered the exact meal that was displayed on the menu billboard (which I never do), and I was glad that I took the chance. The Asiago bagel chicken Roma sandwich and the rustic potato soup were both excellent. They looked exactly like the photo, which also incredibly rare. I don’t give out 5 stars for atmosphere at chain restaurants, but the rest of this review is 5 stars!

    good food, absolutely LOVED the piece of black curly hair in my half mediterranean veggie sandwich, totally a chef’s kiss - truthfully disgusting to find hair in the middle of my sammy.
