   The food Was delicious. First diner I found that the pastrami compares to Katz deli in my opinion. Hard to find. Service was great and welcomed and accommodating to us to fit all of us there. Will be back again

   Overall good- so busy/crowded before theater. Had reservations but ended up sitting at bar as table wasn’t ready 30 min after reservation time. Which was fine for us- bar server was great. No one explained what was going on with our reservation or apologized for the delay. Food was good and came out quickly once we ordered which we appreciated.

   I had a reservation which was not honored by the restaurant. It was very crowded and loud and unorganized. After waiting 39mins past my reservation we asked host how much longer. He said he really didn't know. So we were having a family reunion, stuck with no reservation for dinner. It was freezing outside. We had to walk blocks before we found a place to eat. Not Happy. Why make a reservation on this website which was not honored. You should take this restaurant off your site. Makes me question Open Tables and their ability to actually book a reservation that is honored by this restaurant.

   Took 45 minutes to get seated after our reservation. When we were seated, we had to squeeze 5 into a booth for 4. Food came out at different times and some was already cold. We will never be back.

   Very crowded place, you must book your table before or you’ll wait a very long time before having a seat. But it’s worth the wait : the food is delicious, and the portions are very generous and the service was very fast. I recommend a 100%

    Great for dessert lovers. Seems larger than their other location near 57th Street.
