| - Had I written this review over 7 or 8 years ago, I would have given Schwartz 5 stars, however, having been there a few months ago, I am quite disappointed.
First of all, let it be known that I do not, under any circumstance, ever stand in line for a restaurant. Waiting for 10 min for a table is fine, but standing in a long line in the street for a restaurant is a no-no. There are way too many excellent restaurants in the city for that. However, with this restaurant, standing in line seems to now be a prerequisite to getting a table.
That being said, you'd expect the food to be out of this world. But it's not. You'd expect to have some phenomenal sandwich that melts in your mouth. But you do not. Instead, you get a normal sandwich (better sandwiches at Reuben's IMHO) usually with a lot of fat (even the lean) and not a lot of flavor.
Really not worth the wait. Go somewhere else...the lines are there because of the long standing rep that Schwartz got a long time ago..
