We ordered the grilled cheese dip and the Venetian sandwich. The grilled cheese was decent but lacked a sufficient amount of cheese, with an overwhelming amount of bread—definitely an unbalanced ratio. The bisque was flavorful, but I personally prefer a creamier texture, which this one didn't have, so I wasn't particularly fond of it. Everything was of great quality—especially the ube cookie, which was delicious! While I wasn't thrilled with our sandwich choices, I'm open to returning to try some other options.

I had their version of a beef dip, and it was totally delicious, a tad spicy but not too, the picture of a perfect beef dip. Inside seating on tables with benches. Big assortment of drinks in a nearby fridge. I'm not usually a sandwich person, but this is definitely worth trying.

It's honestly the BEST sandwich I've had here! I also added pepper jack cheese and jalapeños, which made it even spicier and more delicious. It paired perfectly with a lime seltzer.
