My wife and I found the service awful. Didn't even leave a tip! The wait staff were rude and disrespectful. Food is okay but extremely overpriced. Would never go back there. There are so many much, much better deli's around NYC, where the food is better and the service like you would expect. George and Louise (Sydney, Australia)

I understand the min. charge as that is stated on the menu, but my waiter said I could not have a smaller meal and dessert. He was extremely rude and stated to me dessert did not count as part of the min. charge. I think when he heard my Southerm accent, he went in for the kill. I know about the reputation but this went beyond entertainment this was creepy. I ate at many nice NY Restaurants with good food and very nice staff one owner came out in upper West side to welcome us to NY Love the city

Plain and simple, food was great, don't expect a mind blowing corned beef sandwich, just a really good one. Portions are beyond comprehension, so it's a good idea to split something. Cheesecake was excellent, and all in all, for the portions you're getting, it's definately worth it. Our server was quite entertaining, full of personality and attitude (in a good way of course), and we didn't have to wait long for a table at all, and the decor was certainly interesting... seating was rather intimate as well, and we got to know the people around us throughout the meal. Definately a great experience!

I had the Woody Allen and while a little dry, was good noentheless. I had a potato knish that was excellent. Best cheesecake that I have ever tasted. The waitress was very helpful for first timers and was quick to suggest what not to order! WE had a great time and while pricey, the ladies just shared their sandwich anyways. Go once, maybe twice, then check out where New Yorkers will eat.

I don't understand, why do people write a review that's a complete lie? This place is known for it's history of good food, and the environment is like no where else. I order cheesecake to get sent to my mother, who was born in Brooklyn, but now lives out of state. She loves it, and it's always arrived as advertised, on time and GREAT. Go there and check it out, you'll love the experience.
