    Very nice atmosphere compared to other Paneras. Bistro Onion Soup was very salty and not very nice to my palate. Cream of Broccoli was wxcellent!

    Wow apparently I'm not a good enough customer for those little rude staff there,stood in front of cashier waiting to order and then she looks up and walks away, that is horrible horrible customer service!! These younger girls were terrible,acting like I was interrupting them,probably never go back there,not good service at all which is to bad because food is good at panera, probably won't get a response either, which I'm pretty much sure of,and when i went in it wasn't even busy,cant say enough about terrible service!
