The owner here is really passionate about homemade Jewish deli. Last visit, I orders the Ceily's Stack, sans cheese. It's brisket sandwiched between two giant latkes, smothered in brown gravy. Mmmm. This place has the best challah in town, surpassing even the venerable Bagel Cafe. However, I must say I like Bagel Cafe's matzo ball soup and hamantaschen better. The hamantaschen at Bagel Cafe are of the softer variety and have a nice lemon zest in the very flavorful dough. I know Weiss receives laudits for the matzo ball soup, but I found it didn't have quite the garlic kick I desired. The corned beef hash here is superb as is the smoked whitefish, which I find much more satisfying than Bagel Cafe's chunkier variety.
You must have their blueberry danish, which is out of this world. It has a delectable cheese and a compote-like filling which is amazing.
On my last visit, I was a little surprised that they seemed to have changed the menu, as they axed much of their traditional Jewish dinner entree fare. Disappointing :(.
