99 Hope Street
Providence, RI
Name: Annie's Gooey Grilled Cheese
Ingredients: Fresh mozzarella cheese & manchego cheese grilled with red tomato and baby spinach on multigrain bread
Sides: You get crusty bread that comes in a basket! Options for sides are chips or a cucumber salad. I picked chips.
Price: $10 (pshhh)
Thoughts: Okay I'll start on a positive note. "The Rue" is known for it's fab food and drinks. I got a delicious glass of La Fortuna Chardonnay to complement my sandwich. This place has a great reputation, obviously, because the entire place was packed. Granted, it was a Friday afternoon at lunch time. Negative: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches took an HOUR to come to the table. AN HOUR! Unfortunately, this sandwich was neither "gooey" nor a "grilled cheese," although it may have been "Annie's." What they should have called it was a tomato/basil/mozzarella sandwich. The bread was nice and thick, but the bottom was a little soggy. This girl loves some fresh mozzarella don't get me wrong, but this was not very cheesy. Too much bread and not enough insides. It was not a grilled cheese and it was not hot. Rachael got the cucumber salad and liked that-"it's sweet but like, good sweet." She also said "I think I would come back here but I don't think I would get this again." My thoughts exactly. Especially not at hoppin' lunch hour. Our service was slow as molasses, I thought our waitress forgot about us, and I missed a hair appointment because we were stuck there for over 2 hours total. No joke. In conclusion, not grilled cheese, not hot and overpriced.
Score: Abbey: ◥1/2 Rachael: ◥◥
