  I love this place. Not sure what the negative reviews are about. I've had a good experience every time I've come here. Plenty of parking, plenty of places to sit

  This appears to be a brand new venue, but it was sorely disappointing. The lay out is very awkward, especially for someone who is disabled.
  
  I was so excited when I saw soba noodles with edamame blend on the menu. Unfortunately, every health benefit of the spinach, edamame beans, etc was lost when they added enough salt to cover 100 meals. It totally ruined the dish.
  
  The ice tea was cloudy and didn't taste fresh.

  We came here for a quick bite during a weekday evening. We sat out on their small patio overlooking the parking lot. It's too bad there is a big extended stay hotel blocking the river view nearby.
  
  Wife had the southwest Chile lime ranch salad with chicken, which she thought was ok, but would certainly try something else next time.
  
  I had the mac and cheese bowl. For $8, I think I'll pass on this next time as well. The noodles were cooked fine but the sauce was too creamy, and there was too much of it. I have been on a quest to find the best mac and cheese in Rochester, and while Panera's spin on it is passable, it's not worth the asking price.
  
  My wife enjoys Panera's offerings, so I am sure we will be back. I just thought it was an average experience; I dont think anything on the menu will blow your socks off.

  This Panera location is beautiful inside, with a nice outdoor seating area when the weather allows. I commonly use the pick up option using the Panera app, so I can't speak to some of the comments about the service. I've always had a good experience.
  
  My new favorite here is the Southwest chicken salad complete with arugula, giving it a zesty flavor. The turkey cranberry flatbread is a close second favorite for me.

  Worst counter service EVER! It does not require two staff members to take one customer order. Staffer#2 injected herself into the process and the result was a thoroughly botched order. I never did receive the drink I ordered(!) This was our second visit to this particular establishment, having been there four months earlier. On both occasions our orders were improperly made. How do you not know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich?  Today's request for a Greek salad resulted in a bowl of chopped romaine lettuce with a few bits of tomato and slices of onion. No olives, no feta, and no dressing.
  Not happy and never going back. Save your sanity (and money) and find another restaurant.
