Nasty lettuce...

Dined @ Panera in Spanish Springs yesterday... UGH so disappointed!! I should've checked their Yelp rating (2.5) - definitely wouldn't have wasted my money! Ordered the "strawberry chix caprese" and Greek salads. I thought Panera claimed to be this healthy restaurant? The caprese salad had LUNCH MEAT for the chix... gross! And it looked slimy!! And the lettuce in the Greek salad was disgusting. The restaurant was mostly clean and the staff were accommodating. It also took quite a while for the salads to be made. I remember why I stopped going. Sooo very sad - used to be a favorite restaurant for me!!

Big business meeting, where people spent thousands to get there, and I ordered coffee and some pastries from Panera. I get a call 10 minutes before the meeting that the pick up person forgot to take the coffee. me: WHAT? So you are going to send her back right? Lady Lake Panera - "Well, you have to call the delivery company" me: "Huh? I ordered from you." After some major loud talking about how unhappy I was she said, "I'll try." What? Me: "What?" We all walked over to a coffee shop and I bought. Oh, the coffee did show up. And this was a legal meeting that was being recorded and transcribed. The coffee made the transcript. See attached.

Cranberry muffin

I like this location (Spanish Springs) much better than the one at Sumter Landing. They always have cranberry muffins. Sumter Landing is always out. The service and management is vastly better, too. The crew actually spends some time cleaning the tables. With respect to the atmosphere, it's typical. All in all, it's a decent place to sit for awhile.

Burned and curdled "creamy tomato" soup.

The food was outstanding. We started with the shrimp appetizer & calamari, both were excellent. The…read moreseafood is very fresh and cooked to perfection. Our server, Matt was extremely attentive and well informed about the menu. There were 2 managers working and BOTH made our experience fantastic. The atmosphere was also impressive, loved the lighting. The next time we come into town we will definitely revisit this restaurant.

Worst meal I have had in quite a while…read more The waitress was given three other tables they told us after we were seated and we waited an unusually long time to even order out food. My mother was a bit upset how long we sat there. Next, everyone's meal came except my order so I got to watch everyone eat. They did bring my salad out finally, but the Cesar dressing was cheep bottled and not actually Cesar dressing (disappointing) and I ate the house salad pretty much dry... for a place that puts off a fancy vibe, for a 9$ small house salad you would think the Cesar dressing would actually be real and not some poor imitation from a bottle. then Finally my order came after everyone was already half done. The Oysters Rockefeller were hardly warm and were All full of shell bits, almost uneatable...with rubbery bacon bits from a bag in large amounts over the whole. Poor service, poor food, just gross. UPDATE since posting... I intermittently fast and this was the first thing I ate yesterday, since then I have been up - on and off all night - in the bathroom 5 times with the runs... laying in bed now still feeling sickly. Before this I have not had or been sick from anything since last summer and I eat food all over the country, their food totally made me ill. -1 star. Boooo
