| - First off; just so you can find it, I would not say this restaurant is in the Arboretum. It is across Providence, and a small strip center that has a Wells Fargo, Quiznos, and a couple of spas. And in that center, it is around the corner, almost to the back. Now, once you get there, it's pretty good! I went there because what I read about this place made me think it would remind me of the kind of delis I grew up with in Cleveland, and really, it was pretty close. (Maybe if I'd just moved here I'd have a different perspective, but I've been away for a while, and haven't see this type of a deli around here before). It's casual when you walk in; just sit wherever you want! When we sat down, our drink orders were taken, and the waitress brought us the plate of pickles and coleslaw. Now, I had read other reviews that mentioned the pickles, and I was excited. The delis I grew up with had buckets of pickles on the tables, and I can still taste it. So, as cool as it was to be given pickles, the paltry plate of 2 pickles (for 2 of us), was a bit of a disappointment. They tasted good, but I wanted more to munch on. I didn't ask for more, but I have a feeling that I would have been given more if I'd asked.
We chose the open-faced corned beef reuben (it's their specialty), and the 2 of us split a whole one. Truthfully, we could have split the half order and have been satisfied, but we still both ate every bite! It really was delicious. TONS of sauerkraut, over dressing.
To go with our sandwich (we thought since we were sharing, that we'd be hungry. Next time we'll know that all of the portions are HUGE) - we also split an order of the blintzes, and a side order of the potato pancakes. Good grief was this a lot of food! The potato pancakes came with applesauce and sour cream, just like I remember growing up, but they were prepared a little differently. They were a little poufy, whereas I always had them more flattened. These seemed like maybe they were deep fried, instead of pan fried. Still, they tasted good.
The blintzes were delicious! They are on the menu as an entree, but I would really only eat them as a dessert (we'd order them as an entree, but ended up eating them as a dessert). They came with blueberries on top, and were creamy and cheesy and wonderful!
On our way out, we got some of the bakery goods to go (my favorite was the sweet noodle kugel). We will definitely go back - but now that we know the portion sizes, next time we will definitely order less food
