with that said, it's convenient to drop by once in a while and pick up one of their flatbread sandwiches. since it's in the dead of winter and i'm in Chicago, i went for the 1/2 + 1/2 soup/sandwich combo - lobster and butternut squash bisque & hummus and fresh veggies sandwich.
the lobster bisque was surprisingly good - albeit rather watered down and light, i was surprised it was even offered on the menu since it's not exactly the cheapest dish to make. i appreciated that it was very light though, because most of the lobster bisques i've had in the past have been way too salty.
the sandwich was stuffed with veggies and generously spread with hummus. it's a very refreshing thing to eat because it's not weighed down by meat, and the veggies just make you feel very happy (: at least, they make me feel very happy! note that you probably shouldn't have this on a date, though - red onions will stay on your breath for quite a while hahaha.
again, i probably wouldn't come here more than once every month (if even) because you could eat at other places for much cheaper, but when the craving kicks in, what can you do? (:
