I know what good pastrami & corned beef tastes like, and this is the real deal. They were very tender and flavorful, not hard and chewy like other places. I had the Yankee New Yorker with a very good cup of Spicy Fish Gumbo soup. Both tasted so fresh and so good. But I really thought it was cool when my server told me to help myself to the Sundae Bar when I was done. This place ROCKS!
