The current fare was not quite up to snuff.The good things.... Restaurant was clean, staff and service excellent, nice, relaxing vibe.Now for the not so good.....the food firstly. I had 5 items this evening, and one item was up to Panera quality, 3 were mediocre, and 1 which happened to be my favorite menu item at Panera was borderline inedible and should not have been served. The other surprise was the crazy high price for the area. Over $20 for a Pick Two with a bowl of soup instead of a cup, a soft drink and a half price crossaint. NOTE: I did leave a meager $1 tip because the clerk was very good, would have left more if the price had not been out of line for smaller town Midwest.If I could give decimals, I would have given it a 3.5 because of the good help and clean, nice atmosphere. But it is borderline if I ever come back here and give them another chance due to the food quality/high price ratio.

When I first started eating it, I found it to be okay—neither great nor terrible. However, as I took another bite, I noticed a small gnat or bug in my food. I can't express how sick this has made me feel. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I had to share my experience because I'm really disgusted by this.
