GENOA SALAMI, ROASTED, TOMATO, SWISS & SAGE MAYO – $14
Stepping out of the summer sun into the cool confines of The Wharf Pub at 3 Main Street in Edgartown is a respite in itself. Still, it’s the fantastic food that offers the biggest reprieve to anyone’s hunger pangs. It doesn’t take long for tables to fill up will guest, great food, and cool beverages.
The sandwich aficionado that I am, the Roast Chicken Panini was an obviously and spot-on menu selection. Piled high with tender chicken, flavorful genoa salami, aged swiss cheese, and roasted tomatoes, the two-fisted, expertly grilled panini is topped with a spread of creamy sage mayo. The combination makes the taste buds sizzle and smile. Opt for a generous side of creamy cole slaw, but golden brown French fries or tangy potato salad are other options. Some people like to be surprised when they eat out, but many like and expect the same. Whether you crave surprises or sameness, you will always get great food and service at The Wharf Pub. I suspect I will order the same Roast Chicken Panini on my next visit—which is very soon.
