| - Short and sweet:
Friendly, fast service. Small, slightly cramped space. However, it is clean, bright, and inviting. Also conducive to my niece making friends with the table next to us rather quickly.
Food Ups:
HUGE portions... and even that doesn't do it justice. You *will* have leftovers, and you will want them.
The brisket was amazing and tender and juicy and seasoned perfectly. The stuffed portabello was tender and meaty (texture) and fantastic and the spinach filling was fresh and just the right amount of bright and crisp. The corned beef reuben with homemade kraut was excellent. The chopped liver was so amazing I got some to go.
The chicken noodle soup was fabulous. Lots of chicken, veg, and flavor. Not overly salted and very, very well done. Home made and heartwarming, absolute bliss.
Food Downs:
The potato pancakes were too thick and just too large. Plate size, two of them came with the brisket and all but overpowered everything else. The FLAVOR was great... but I think we all wanted something a little smaller, maybe a little crisp?
The amount of cheese on the stuffed portabello could give even the healthiest patron a coronary. It detracted from the rest (see above) of the amazing dish. Cheese as a garnish, yay! As a gravy? Not so much.
A great meal, truly. Maybe a 3.5... but most of it was such an upside (with some of the amazing stuff to go!) that I had to round up. I will definitely be back for more.
