yum! Kitchen and Bakery

I’ve been here a few times now, always hoping that the next visit I’ll have a little better result. The food isn’t bad, it’s just OK. I’ve tried the fish and chips (A bit greasy) The trio salads (Nothing to write home about or to make me want to come back) and the soup (I prefer Panera’s). I think another one of the frustrating things is they list a number of items that are gluten-free. Why of course they’re gluten-free…It’s a salad, eggs, or some other item that wouldn’t have any type of flour or gluten product in it. Many restaurants now have at least one offering of a gluten free roll/bread etc. I’m a fan of breakfast. I would love to see them offer up a gluten-free English muffin or even GF bread. It doesn’t have to be made there but something that could be served with breakfast or put together as a sandwich. I do have to say I’ve seen the sandwiches and they do look very good, (that’s usually what my dining partners are eating) but I haven’t had the opportunity to try them. As far as service well, you have to order at the counter yourself and you take a number to the table and then they bring you your food, they deliver it in a timely manner… it works, but since their prices are as they are, I would prefer to be waited on. Lastly, the atmosphere. I feel like I’m eating in the IKEA cafeteria, the seating is more like a fast food joint, It’s feels rather cold and sterile. There’s nothing cozy or homey or warm about this place. It’s wide open, very high ceilings and lots of windows. Because of this it gets a bit noisy at peak hours. With so many other restaurants and options in the area, I think I’ll pass on future dining here.
