"Mike and Mel Deli holds immense potential for growth, and I'm eager to revisit for a future review. Let's dive into the highlights--their pickle bar is an absolute delight. The all-you-can-eat (Ayce) pickle bar, available for dine-in or carry-out, is truly exceptional. It stands out as the finest in any deli I've encountered, boasting a fantastic selection at an affordable price. The bonus of Ayce, with just a nominal charge added to your meal, is a pleasant surprise.On the positive side, the menu offers a diverse range of items, including pastrami and smoked salmon. However, the downside emerges in the meat quality. I opted for the pastrami, but it resembled more of a thinly sliced roast beef sandwich one might find at a subway. I anticipated a robust, thick stack of pastrami to tantalize my taste buds and satisfy my hunger, but it left me with a rather indifferent impression--especially considering the price point.I encourage the management to personally experience their sandwiches and reconsider their expectations for a top-tier deli. Striving for excellence in the pastrami department could elevate the overall dining experience. Despite this setback, I remain optimistic and will grant Mike and Mel Deli another chance in the future."
