New address on LaGrange...just two blocks from old address.
Rick B.

Too bad, but they lose a star. The new place is wonderful and roomy, but the service fails. I seriously think this place has changed hands and has new management. Where the cash register person in the old location by the pastry used to toast your bagel right there when you wanted it toasted, now the bagel goes back to the kitchen so it can take 3 times as long and still come out tepid. Also, probably a one off but a new pot of coffee came out with floating grounds and when we mentioned it to the staff they just left it there. Staff is not trained and does not seem to care about the food and coffee ... big training issue. Too bad...

Why aren't the ingredients INSIDE the sandwich?
Shannon B.

Why isn't Panera corporate reading all of these reviews and making changes accordingly? The new facility has terrible parking. It's an accident waiting to happen. The customer service is very lacking. It's loud, cannot hear the cashier. I ordered on the self ordering terminal because it became so frustrating trying to decipher what the lady was asking. The creamy chicken soup was watered down terribly. About 2ounces of chicken total on my sandwich, very poorly made- too expensive for such a lack of ingredients. The inside is filthy. No one cleans the tables. No one asks how your meal is. The old ambience of a home-style feeling is lost. No one cares here. Also- when your order is ready, good luck knowing. They don't say your name- nothing. You have to guess when to walk up to the counter. It's lost all of ur ability to provide customer service and the food portions are sad.

Chill spot with good food. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. The service was friendly and welcoming. Would come here again

Alfredo tortellini with bread
Jaclyn W.

I came here for the first time today to pick food up. Ordering on the app is very easy, and very quick. The place is extremely busy, there was barely any parking, just tons of people inside. I ordered the Alfredo tortellini which comes with a piece of bread, the total price came out to be $9.64. What a huge waste of money. The bread was very hard and the portion on the noodle dish was very small. You would think for spending almost $10, that there would be more food. There was barely any sauce in my meal, I literally had to add butter just to get flavor from it. I don't see myself coming back unless it's for a beverage of some sort. The prices are just very expensive for the little mount of food you get, and honestly mine wasn't even that good. Pretty disappointing

They really need to rename their "Rapid Pickup" to extremely extra slow pickup. I've ordered a few times, plan on a half hour or longer.

To start, we weren't given any silverware, small plates or napkins during our appetizer, so that was frustrating because while it was busy, yes, we had a hard time flagging anyone down. We had to actually ask for napkins after our entrees arrived. We also had to ask for silverware separately because it wasn't noticed while we were sitting there so that was really irritating. I understand they were busy, but the bare minimum is having silverware and napkins. Our waitress was really nice and I'm sure she had a lot of tables but having to ask for both was not ideal. We tried the bone in wings and they were really good - the meat FELL off the bone. The only thing I'd change here is there wasn't enough sauce. The flavor was good, just not enough of it. I also got the Korean fried chicken sandwich and that was heavenly. There was a ton of sauce, the chicken was really crispy and the bun was warm. We both also asked for our fries "well done" and they were just that! We really enjoyed the food. This wasn't the best experience, but wasn't the worst. We aren't running to come back but may visit in the future should we want to try any other menu items.

We celebrated our daughter's 3rd birthday here, and it was truly the best birthday celebration yet!…read moreAlthough this restaurant doesn't typically do birthday songs or go all out, they went above and beyond when we made a special request. They made her a personalized birthday card, gave her a balloon, and gathered so many staff members to sing Happy Birthday to her! It made her feel so special and created such a sweet memory for our family. On top of that, the food was amazing, and our waitress, Katy, was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our entire visit. You can tell when a restaurant genuinely cares about making its guests feel welcome, and this experience was exactly that. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our little girl's 3rd birthday so memorable. We truly appreciate the extra effort and will definitely be back!

When we arrived we were told there was a 15-20 minute wait, though the restaurant was not even half full. No problem, we provided our info and number and received a text that we were on the wait list. The good news, it didn't take the full amount of time and we were seated in the bar area. We waited a while before the bartender told us over the bar she would be right with us. It took several more minutes. She was very pleasant when she arrived and we ordered everything. Drinks arrived shortly there after (mostly waters). Then we waited... our side salads came out after about 10-15 minutes and then we waited another 25+ minutes for dinner to arrive. We ordered the beef sandwich, chicken pasta, kids boneless wings, and burger. After that long wait the food was disappointing. The burger had no flavor, and the wings had a weird after taste. The beef sandwich and chicken on the pasta were okay, but we didn't take anything away in boxes. We ended up paying on the kiosk because our server never came back until we got up to leave. Overall, service was extremely slow and food wasn't great.

The portions are large! One note this restaurant does not serve alcohol due to the owners are Muslim. The tea selection was unique. I tried the chai which was not too sweet! Service: if you do need any more food, the servers were constantly checking in on us. Ambiance: the restaurant is designed beautifully. The designs are heavily influenced by Mediterranean/Islamic motifs. They have plenty of seating for couples or large last minute groups too!

I think the owner may have been at the door that day and seemed a bit frazzled (understandable). Also, a sign that says please wait here to be seated. When we arrived we didn't know where to stand so we went to the other side of the front desk and were somewhat scolded and redirected to go back around and wait. It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!
