Good food - all your comfort favorites along with some items you never heard of. Took my sister and my two nephews ages 9 and 12. Service was great and my nephews were not made to feel out of place. Love the music too.

Why do waiters all of a sudden turn sour when you order only two mains and two beers? Sometimes you work late, go straight to restaurant but still want to watch a movie at home, no? Anyway, if only the waiting was bad... The food was the least good I had in a long time in the city. The chicken was still bloody inside and the meatloaf lukewarm... Definitly not a recommendable place.

I have had lunch a few times and brunch there... Happy with my meal every time... The cheeseburger rolls are ridiculous... I would keep going just for them...

Delicatessen has something for everyone - whether you are strolling in Soho and need a shopping break or if this is your night out destination, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is cool and chic, but not stuck-up, the wait staff is super friendly, food is fantastic, and the prices are reasonable! They now have the garage doors open when itÂ’s warm out and a deejay spinning great music. This is a fun time had by all. No complaints here!

i don't know if they actually have a cook here or if they stock up on frozen foods from the grocery store and reheat it. the food is strait from the trailer park, which is probably where all there staff came from. i don't know who was more obnoxious and rude the waiter or the host. i would never return here again. please take my advice and don't waste your time or your money by even trying this place.

Alas, what fresh hell is this? A fusion of bad frozen trailer park comfort food with NY Deli and pan Asian. What could be more vomit inducing than miso matzoh ball soup? Perhaps, deep fried Stouffer quality appies served by zoned out nasty waitstaff who look like they just crept off an early 90s heroin chic print ad. This place will likely last another 6 months. They keep cluelessly tweaking the menu but the place is clearly doomed.

from making a reservation (through an event planner for a party of 5) to confirming the reservation, to checking in at the front desk-all of it was a hassle. They have so much attitude and for no reason. Food is less than average, kitchen is slow, service is unattentive, fruit flies are all over the bread and food. It is a nightmare. Owners should try calling and making a reservation for a party of 5 and see how the staff treats them. Horrible experience from beginning to end
