Sandwich 90: Harissa Honey Roasted Chicken Breast from The Smile


So sorry about how late this post is.  I wish I had an excuse, but it's really laziness/a three day weekend. :)

Anyhow, The Smile is a very hidden establishment; there's barely any signage for it on the street, and it's down a flight of stairs.  Inside, it has a nice homey, small cafe feel, with waitresses wearing stylish farm girl outfits (of all things) and very low light.  They had some delicious things on the menu such as basil-infused lemonade, but this sandwich was the reason I came:


Beyond the honey roasted chicken breast sandwich, there were also homemade potato chips and scrumptious pickled veggies on the side.  The sandwich was just fine, but not spectacular.  For one thing, there was barely any spice to the dish despite it apparently being made with harissa.  It was also chicken breast, which is never the most exciting meat choice in terms of taste.  But it was a well-balanced sandwich; you could really taste each individual ingredient in every bite.  It was quite expensive for what it was ($11.50), and definitely not worth the price (if it was, say, $8 I'd be happier), but I did leave the meal satisfied.  3.5 out of 5.
