Customer Reviews
Great food and vibez! Wanted to get the Saturday special but unfortunately they were out, so I went with the salmon instead. Still very yummy. My partner had the half chicken which was absolutely bussin. Had the NY cheesecake for dessert which was dense and rich in flavor- it was great, highly recommend!
I think it promised us more then it delivered- rather it was more on us for setting expectations a little too high. We saw the awards and positive reviews so went in expecting quite a lot. But my hot chocolate wasn’t very hot (room temp/cold) the vibe/atmosphere was nice but definitely posh, upscale crowd, my $ reuben was nothing to write home about at all-only part that stuck out was as another reviewer said-the sauerkraut. The matzoh ball soup was very good. The deviled eggs quite bad-did not taste very fresh. The cinnamon roll was also meh- didn’t have the glaze and came room temperature. It was fine, expensive, but fine. They certainly try and are well like by most.
Service was non existent .When our orders finally arrived it was so cold I knew then and there ewe ain't in NYC anymore .! If this is a jewish deli I am captain kangaroo . Horrendous service blah food and nowhere remotely A jewish deli. James beard may love the decor but the food is blah and beyond uneatable . After 67 years of deli eating this place is vomit and hair balls
***FOOD: OK Brunch. Nothing amazing to come weekly. MATZOH BALL SOUP - very good AVENUE D LOX SALMON OPEN FACE BAGEL - very fresh and delicious with the cream cheese THE GENERAL PLATTER - 2 eggs, pastrami and two potato latkes it was only OK. The pastrami was a little dry. POUTINE - not really what expected of poutine. Expected more Gravy than Cheese. It really should be called cheesy fries. Ok but wouldn’t order this again. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$$ sort of pricey for breakfast brunch ***DÉCOR: looks like classic deli diner with subway tiles and black and white. Cute. Parking could be an issue if you come during rush hour ***SERVICE: server was ok. Took our order then didn’t see again until the bill. Lots of good runners and water person. Good came out ok. Maybe 15-20 min wait. ***RECOMMEND: maybe go back off in the neighborhood or a friends just wanna meet them. RECOMMEND Sort of.
