Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    Fun, trendy restaurant with excellent food and drink. Our server seemed new and perhaps dealing with lots of tables, so we cut him slack, especially since he was very gracious and friendly. We will definitely return soon!

    We absolutely love dining here , we feel like home, EVERYONE is so welcoming and friendly, the management team are doing an excellent job. Employees are happy and they pass it on to the customers , we dine here once a month and always look forward to it, this time I tried the Spanish paella 🥘, I wish I took a photo, it was delicious 😋 my husband had the New York steak 🥩 it was done with perfection, we always share the wedge yummm 😋, for dessert 🍮 we tried the crème brûlée 🍮 it was ok , we’ve had better one, we don’t think it was from scratch. But overall outstanding menu, place, people.We adore one of the friendliest female manager ( I forgot her name sorry) she visits each table and sparks up a conversation, many restaurants don’t do that, despite how busy they are, they will acknowledge the customer all the time.
