"**Restaurant Review**
I recently had a meal at this establishment, which included both an average and an excellent experience, leading me to settle on a 4-star rating.
**Average Meal:** During my visit on a Sunday night, I noticed that the young staff behind the counter lacked experience. I ordered a take-out pastrami sandwich that, at $14.00, had disappointingly little pastrami. Additionally, no condiments (like ketchup or salt) were provided, which was a letdown, especially considering their otherwise impressive French fries. The corned beef in the generously-sized Reuben sandwich was quite fatty. While we hadn’t specifically requested lean meat, it’s worth suggesting that they indicate available condiments and ensure that orders are complete before they are handed over.
**Excellent Meal:** In contrast, I later enjoyed a fantastic portion of tongue and a delicious Reuben sandwich, both made with high-quality ingredients and generously filled with meat. The side of coleslaw was very good as well. The sandwiches came with pickles on the side, adding a nice touch. Overall, this is satisfying and well-managed Jewish deli food.
**Setting:** The outdoor terrace provides a pleasant dining atmosphere, featuring socially distant tables and reliable table service, which deserves a 5-star rating.
**Summary:** This deli offers good traditional Jewish food. On days when it’s “on,” the food in Brooklyn can be exceptional. The outdoor terrace serves as a lovely and safe space to enjoy your deli favorites. To ensure a high-quality experience, especially with takeout or delivery, I recommend paying an extra dollar for lean meat, specifying your condiment preferences, and double-checking your order before leaving to make sure everything is included."
