Food: Palette of flavors yet uneven
Fan favorites at the deli include Pastrami and a Matzo Ball Soup, Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich and the snack-worthy Cinnamon Bagel Chips. The extensive menu offers a variety of dishes but falls short in maintaining quality across the board. Appetizers and main courses, reported as bland or flavorless, sharply contrast with the praised freshness of ingredients and generous portion sizes.
Great Variety
Diverse menu caters to all, ensuring a satisfying dining experience.
Okay Value
Good food and service despite varying opinions on price and value.

Vibe: Attractive yet chaotic
The chic and cozy ambiance of the established deli is highly received, paired with a considerable absence of scenic views. Reviews have shown a mixed bag on the drink front, with high prices cited. Attracting various suits for different occasions, a cacophony of noise leaves much to be desired for intimacy. The restaurant's appeal falls flat for a younger, trendier crowd, with reports of overcrowding.
Great Ambiance
Chic, classy remodel created an impressive, cozy, and beautiful ambience.
Okay For Dates
Restaurant suits various occasions, though noise level can be high for dates.
Perks: Uncomfortable with modest provisions
Despite accommodating large groups, allowing children to enjoy their meals, and having dietary options, the deli's service sets them back. The issues lie with difficult parking, the poor acoustics leading to exorbitant noise levels, reservation woes with extended wait times, and less than enjoyable outdoor seating. Staff also contributes to the negative sentiments with slow and inattentive service.
Great For Groups
Accommodates large groups well with ample space and diverse seating options.
Okay For Diets
Options available but could improve by adding more vegan, healthy choices.
Bad Outdoor
Outdoor seating attracts flies, making the dining experience less enjoyable.
