| - After getting through a delayed red-eye flight which caused me to miss my connecting flight and made the airline to lose my luggage, I looked to Reuben's to put a smile on my face and they succeeded.
We came in at 12:30pm and ran into the busy lunch crowd but were seated within 10 minutes. We started with Old Fashioned Chopped Liver which was very nice, especially with the crispy onions. My wife went with the Southern Crisp Chicken Tender Salad which we felt was a bit too sweet. I don't mind a BBQ ranch dressing, but this one was missing a flavour note. Maybe not enough acid. It was OK, but we were hoping for better. I went with the Original Reuben Sandwich with poutine and a side of coleslaw. The smoked meat was tender and juicy, the bread was crispy, and the melted cheese was gooey! And the coleslaw was tangy and crunchy! Yes, the sandwich was yummo!
Even though it was busy, our server, Pascale, was super friendly (and funny) and was always attentive.
This is not my first time at Reuben's. I go there whenever I make it to Montreal and have had their sandwiches, steaks, desserts, etc. Normally, I'd give Reuben's 5-stars (and I will for this review anyway), but for this one visit I would give it 4-stars only because the salad wasn't as good as their other food.
