| - Our trip to Chompie's yesterday started out with us requesting a table on the patio. (When we came in, we saw some folks sitting out there) The hostess told us she wasn't sure if they were seating anyone there, and since that seemed like a hint that they didn't want anyone out there, I told her we were fine with sitting inside. (The dinning room was pretty stuffy, but I know better than to anger waitstaff at a restaurant) We started with a potato knish, which was reheated, but tasted okay. We both ordered extra lean corned beef sandwiches, hers with matzo ball soup, mine with fries. Both of us found the corned beef to be greasy and fatty. (Don't know if this is always their extra lean, but it didn't seem like extra lean) My GF said the broth to her soup tasted lime Campbell's, and matzo ball was bland. My fries were actually potato wedges, but okay none the less. Overall I would say this a pretty disappointing experience. I will wait for my visits to Chicago and Florida for real Jewish deli food.
