   As a born and raised New Yorker, this restaurant was a far cry from the original. The service was good but the chili was cold and the fried mozzarella came from a box. The pastrami did not even reach the edges of the rye bread. The menu depicts large juicy sandwiches - which could not be found at this restaurant. Not worth the trip.

   We waited for 10 minutes for a waiter to greet us, even though we were in the middle of the seating area. Several waiters walked past and glanced at us and said nothing. Then when a waiter finally took our order, he immediately greeted the people who came in after us once they sat down. And our waiter only checked up on us once, while he and other waiters checked up on the tables around us multiple times and were more friendlier with those tables. He also did not say anything friendly to us after we handed him the check. The whole entire experience made me and my family uncomfortable and overshadowed the food. The food was good, but I will not be going back. Worst service I’ve ever experienced.

   Generous portions. Great variety, even on the plant-based menu. Enjoyed the plant-based souvlaki. All aspects of the experience were good.

   Food was great. Service was great. I just wish I did not have to sit quite so close to the people next to me.

    My family of 4 ate there on 12/31 for dinner. They have eaten here before, but it was my first time. We all ordered sandwiches. Food came out pretty quick, but mine was wrong. It was fried chicken sandwich when I ordered the Californian w no cheese and GF bun. I sent it back w the reminder of a gluten free bun and no cheese. I had to wait almost 10 mins for my sandwich to come out and it was still wrong. There was no avocado on the sandwich and I wasn't sure if GF bun. We compared it to rest of family and thought it looked different. The server did come over and apologize and offered free dessert, which I don't eat and probably couldn't anyway since I'm GF. No offer to remove my sandwich from bill and since my husband paid, I never saw the bill if there was the $3 upcharge for questionable GF bun. I am still upset and don't feel enough was done to make it right.
