   Large menu. Good diner classics. Nice dessert options. Best diner in the Theater District. Often crowded, reservations suggested.

   Even though I had a reservation, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The service was slow, and we had to wait until our meals were served to get utensils. And one of the orders was incorrect and had to be sent back. The pastrami was not as good as the last time I had it here. Not sure if I will be returning.

   Good food, friendly service, and nice decor. We hit it for breakfast at least once per trip to NYC.

   Unfortunately 3 of the 4 didn’t like their food. Chicken was extremely dry, chicken salad had so much mayo is was liquidy…nice atmosphere though and fast service.

   Highly recommend this restaurant! We were a party of five and had reservations; we arrived early but they sat us immediately. Extensive menu selection so we needed extra time to decide what to order. All the food arrived quickly, hot and served at the same time… most importantly, everything was DELICIOUS! One warning: huge portions of food so we couldn’t finish and didn’t order dessert. Our server Lena was on point, friendly, attentive and patient with us. We came on a rainy mid-December night… the place was busy and loud but Lena and other staff were helpful and didn’t miss a beat. We will definitely come back when we return to NYC.
