Unlike the two-faced or red-faced sandwich, the open-faced sandwich provides a proud and honest presentation of just what you're about to eat. Indulge in candid cuisine with today's WagJag: $19 for two open-faced sandwiches and two glasses of house wine at C House Lounge Cafe (a $70 value).
Part of a worldwide chain started in Milan, C House Lounge Cafe is a high-end restaurant serving homemade, authentic Italian epicure. Diners sit in white leather armchairs surrounded by mirrored columns and ceilings as they're served signature dishes like bruschetta topped with mozzarella and prosciutto and mussels marinara.
Take your pick from 11 open-faced sandwiches with this deal, such as the open tonno, a medley of soft cheese, tuna, mozzarella, green olives and avacado laid out on crispy bread; the open salmone, featuring smoked salmon, avacado, cheese and other complementary vegetables; or the open portofino's al basilico, an eclectic blend of grilled chicken, potato, green beans and pesto. Other selections, like the open greco, open caprese and open gorgonzola, also make for a palate-pleasing experience. A glass of Australian Shiraz or Pouilly Fuisse white wine from France helps wash it all down most enjoyably.
