I am not sure about the reason for all the negative reviews. Almost didn't even try this place due to the negative reviews. On the way back from Chicago, almost skipped this place due to the bad reviews and went next door. But next door was closed, so decided to try the place. 1) service - this is not the Ritz Carlton, it's a deli restaurant. While service was not of Ritz Carlton, it was fine. Nobody was obnoxious or rude. We did go at not the most busy time so that may have helped. 2) place - large - tables nicely spaced out, a great deli with to go food up front aesthetically pleasing with all kinds of goodies. 3) the food - was too busy eating and didn't take photos - the food was delicious. I have gone to other delis and this one ranks high. Matzo ball soup - delicious broth (better than some delis) and the matzo balls were just right The chopped liver - delicious - just the right amount of creaminess, not dried out and flavorful. Corned beef hash - delicious Others had reube
Everything about this Deli is awesome. The people are friendly the food is excellent. When you want something cooked a certain way and you ask for it they almost always do it perfect every time. You weren't burnt onions with your scrambled eggs you'll get them burnt. The Corned Beef is delicious the pastrami is delicious and probably the best Sable around town. I found out that Joey the owner only buys enough Sable to last for one day. Once it's gone it's gone. But it is the freshest moistest most delicious Sable I have had in a long long time. They have great soup and sandwich combinations and soup and salad combinations. Sometimes there's a lack of help but the Busboys kick in they are very helpful also. They also freed a lot of their product for you to take home which is what we do many times and stay away from that tempting dessert display at the counter where you pay. You'll definitely want to take something delicious home for later. Just remember patience is needed sometimes depe
Ordered the fish platter to go. Lots of whitefish and sable, plus others as in the photo. I could only eat half, will have the rest for breakfast . Price is very reasonable and the quality good. The cashier was friendly and knowledgeable. When I asked about their pastrami, which he said they make themselves, he offered to cut some for me to try. Delicious.
