Panera: it is what it is.  \n\nA perfectly adequate place for coffee, a sandwich, pastries, whatever.  (OK--I take the coffee part back, because I've been to several different locations and have never cared for the coffee.)  The service has been fine the few times I've been here. The food is okey-dokey but completely unremarkable. I'd describe what I ate today, but why bother? I already don't remember what it was.  See what I mean?  An unintended plus to today's outdoor dining experience: being entertained as I watched people react with varying degrees of horror as they clapped their peepers on a couple of mice frolicking under one of the tables. But I digress.  \n\nIn sum: if you come here for fine dining you're bound to be disappointed (p.s. you're bonkers, so you deserve what you get).  \n\nPanera: at the pinnacle of mediocrity.  It is what it is.
