First impressions: Cole’s French Dip
So I finally made it to Cole’s downtown. After having had Philippe’s French dip sandwiches, I had to wind up here eventually to compare, right? Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Philippe’s in more than a year, so I can’t really accurately compare in terms of flavor. But let’s get on to Cole’s, shall we?
First off, Cole’s has a great old-school feel to it, much like other Cedd Moses establishments. The restaurant is seat-yourself, the lighting is dark, and the floor is appropriately scuffed up — but that’s because it’s the original floor. The sandwiches are carved and assembled right in front, so you can see your food being made. It’s a fun place.
