Food: Good grub but gotta pay

Amongst the lack of distinctive 'top' dishes, it's quite clear that Tommy Pastrami's fares well with their food. Both taste and freshness appear to be decently celebrated, swaying towards a neutral perspective from patrons. While the generous portions are greatly appreciated by the large appetite fee, the imbalance between the value and price turns off potential intake.

  • Great Portions

    Generous portions commended; perfect for those with large appetites.

  • Okay Quality

    Ingredients generally fresh and high quality, with some variability in meat.

  • Value

    Prices often seen as too high, overpriced and not justifiable.

Vibe: Less atmosphere, more elbows

Sadly, the vibe at Tommy Pastrami takes a hit with a dismal businesspark ambiance and restrictive seating arrangements. It's a drag to be bumping into others when you're trying to enjoy your food. That's not a vibe that can score points amongst the diners.

  • Aesthetic

    Dreary businesspark ambiance, limited and cramped indoor seating

Perks: Plentiful parking to counter the vibe

Parking, however, is a breeze and good for the nerves, if you're used to hunting for a spot in the city. The great outdoor seating helps improve the atmosphere somewhat, and the service is always on point and appreciated. Does that make you forget about the limited seating indoor? Perhaps.

  • Great Service

    Service was described as friendly, fast, efficient, and great.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Outdoor seating spacious, concerns exist about smoking affecting enjoyment.
