Came here for a Deli Platter. O my god its alot of smoked meat!!!! No healthy Heather Reisman choices for me! All Deli, all the time. The meat is okay, and the servers have to be reminded to bring more slices of bread (they only bring 4 to start with), but its a decent deal and decent Deli (no Caplansky's though)
I'll eventually have to try something else on the menu, but for now I'm not complaining.
In terms of service and ambiance, the Pickle Barrell is just okay.. The service is spotty, last time I was served by a very large man, who would seem more at home as one of those scary personal trainers at Goodlife (maybe this is his sideline?)
The decor and feel of the resteraunt are that of a chain, all beiges and soft lighning, but this place is Bubi and Zaidi (Grandparents in Yiddish), in fact its my Yaid's favourite place in Toronto.
