    Food was cold, waitress didn't want helps and rolled her eyes every time we asked for a refill. We had to send my husband's eggs back because they were cooked wrong and they came back at the end of our meal when we were paying. I'd never eat here again or recommend this restaurant.

    Great food. Although we had reservations, tables were still backed up 1/2 hour. Overall worth it.

    Tourist trap…. Not worth it. Find a real NY deli instead.

    The restaurant allows so much cold air to enter every time the doors open, it’s like eating outside. And it was 25 degrees out. That needs to be fixed

    It is a very crowded restaurant with not much space between the tables which is hard in winter when you have the coat and extra gear. The reuban was OK, but it was hard to find the sauerkraut in the sandwich, which a reuben really needs. The french fries were excellent. We were there during happy hour so the prices for the beer and margarita were reasonable.
