Nothin' Special
Monday, May 23, 2005
While Louisa's has a friendly laid back atmosphere, some cool art on the walls and some nice seating, I can't get over a couple of tragic flaws.
First the prices. 7 bucks is at the top end of what I am willing pay far a ham sandwich even if I'm starving and $9 is definitely too much to pay for a tuna melt no matter how artsy the setting.
Then there is the slow service. Often orders seem to come out of the kitchen in no particular order and even simple cold sandwiches can sometime take more then 15 minutes to appear.
Lastly, they manage to over-do many of my simple deli favorites. Random ingredients are liberally added to even the most standard of menu items. While I understand some people like that extra bit of "flavor" in their lunch, my beloved simple tuna melt was violated with so many chunks of celery, pickles and onions that there really didn't seem to be any tuna in it. Yuck.
