   Waiting longer than expected to be waited on. When food arrived, the grilled shrimp was still gray so I had to send it back to the kitchen to be cooked completely. We did not have silverware on the table and asked the expediter when he brought our food to the table. After a few minutes, my husband left the table to track down the silverware so we could eat our meal. Not my first visit but won't be in a hurry to return.

   Good menu choices; some of the food was not as flavorful as expected. Very good service. Not a quiet place for close conversations, but then again they do advertise as a dinner. I’d recommend it for a casual outing.

   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
