   Large portions, tasteless and bland. All entrees came out room temperature. Server and Manager were both very nice, friendly and apologetic.

   We went at 5:30 on a Saturday evening, so we weren't surprised by the noise level. We were seated almost exactly at our reservation time. The staff was friendly. We'll add it to our list of regular eating places. I had the Pastrami Rueben. It was huge and delicious.

   We love the food at the Carnegie Deli, which has become a very popular breakfast place. Service was good on the front end, but not fabulous once we were served. The noise level is high with conversation, higher with the music. My friends both wear hearing aids and had a hard time conversing because of the noise level. Be aware!

   Good lores this place is noisy. Staff is SUPER NICE, but lunch is better than breakfast/ brunch. Breakfast is also super slammed with people. Will look to other options for breakfast

    A fun restaurant with many food choices. The food was excellent, as was the service. It was crowded when we visited (a weekday at lunch) which made parking very challenging and the restaurant was quite loud. Despite these issues, I would recommend a visit.
