Noodles Panini - Fort Lauderdale

My wife and I paid a visit to Noodles Panini on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale. The initial service hiccup was soon forgotten thanks to the great effort of one of their staff members who promptly realized we hadn't been helped.However, I must note that the pricing seemed disproportionately high. We found most pasta dishes creeping into the $30s. For that kind of price tag, we were expecting dishes that would really wow us, but the taste was, at best, just alright.Their interpretation of a bruschetta dish was, to say the least, an unexpected and disappointing surprise. Picture this: a giant loaf of bread cut in half, heaped with toppings. It was cumbersome to eat and the flavors just didn't come together the way we had hoped.All in all, despite the effort from the staff, Noodles Panini on Las Olas left us with a less than stellar experience. The steep prices did not align with the quality and execution of the dishes, making it a tough recommendation. We encourage potential visitors to consider these points before deciding on a visit.

Despite telling our waiter we were locals, we were giving the ‘ole tourist hustle we were offered the most expensive items on the menu as recommendations.We ordered what we wanted… but I received AND was charged for the Panini the waiter suggested… not the one I ordered. No apologies or correction to bill.Having said that, the food was delicious! Shame they function in unapologetic upsell mode the food is so good, the hustle is a turn off. Undecided if we will ever return Ft. Lauderdale has so many great choices.

Complain all you want, if you didn 't enjoy your meal here, DO NOT blame the restaurant. My question is, simply, how can this almost obscure little spot on a street with so many with such massive presence be so damn good, time after time? A big menu usually means mediocre at everything, not here. Salads so fresh you have to wonder where they hide their private garden. Pastas of every variety that would challenge the king 's, if there was one. My single complaint: not enough outside seating, depriving tourists and locals of a great food experience.

Food is average at best. Service is terribly slow. Don’t recommend this place.

Had a lovely experience here tonight! Our waitress, Dani(apologies if I misspelled! , was so kind and helpful! She was very attentive and gave us the specials in great detail, which was appreciated. The bruschetta was amazing and perfect for splitting for an afternoon snack. Would definitely come back to try some dinner here if we had more time in Fort Lauderdale!
