   Nice casual meal. Corned Beef and Pastrami on point. My daughter says Tiramisu the best she has ever had.

   We had a reservation for 1:00p and did not get seated until almost 2:00p. What is the purpose of making a reservation when their process is to just put your name on another list when you show up on time and then are forced to wait almost an hour.

   We checked in 10 minutes before our reservation. 20 minutes after the reservation time we were still the 3rd party on the list to be seated! It was hot and noisy and crowded and my daughter thought she was going to faint so we left. Staff were completely unapologetic.

   I had a reservation and my entire party arrived five minutes before the time. Apparently having a reservation is a meaningless concept at this restaurant. We got seated 25 minutes after the reservation time. We had an event to go to and had to eat quickly with no time for dessert or coffee. I will not be back and I will not be recommending this restaurant. The hostess basically was that’s the way it goes. The waiter was fine and the food was good, but if you don’t honor a reservation, that spoils the entire experience.

   We were there on a Saturday morning reservation for 4 at 11:15am. However it’s a more of a walk in first come first serve basis. We still waited for about an hour to get seated. However, the food and atmosphere was all great! So the wait was worth. Portions were large. Taste was great. Offers healthy choices and organic eggs. We ate comfortably.
