| - Ok. We went to Simon's on our way to Heiman's Grocery (which I'll review later) based on Yelp's mixed bag of reviews. My first impression was that the lady behind the Pick-up counter, who I believe was a manager, was either hard of hearing or just rude. That was quickly overcome when we saw the Dessert counter though! Mmmmmm, it all looked good! Then we were directed to the back dining room which was clean and nicely decorated. Our waitress, Ms. Chris, was a well trained, awesome machine! Attentive without hovering, paid attention to the details, friendly and knowledgeable. After looking over the menu, I realized that this was a cleverly disguised Lebanese restaurant posing as a deli with comfort food. We ordered the Kraut Balls, Corned Beef Reuben with a side of fried mushrooms, and the Beef Latkas with a side of tabouli, and finished by splitting a piece of raspberry cheesecake. Kraut balls with a wonderful horseradish sauce; I could eat these all day! The Reuben was large and very good. Mushrooms; average. I was not crazy about the Latkas (potato cakes), they just weren't seasoned well and tasted like fried mashed potatoes, but the Corned Beef was pretty darn good. The Tabouli was very fresh and tasty. As for splitting the cheesecake, that almost led to a fight (which I think our waitress found amusing), so I would suggest that you order one of your own instead. An overall good experience and will probably go back sometime in the future.
