Stopped in for lunch yesterday and was very, VERY impressed by the menu and the space itself. Being that it had just opened, some menu items were understandably unavailable, but all in all, I was well pleased with what we had.
Clam chowder was chock full of tender clams. Garnished with crumbled bacon which was not too bacony or tasty actually. The liquid itself was tasty, but not very clammy or seafoody.
The "Katz Club" sandwich had the twist of an egg in it and was quite good. Excellent bread that was buttered and toasted. Yum. But again, the bacon was kinda meh...
Stuffed cabage was solid, as was the mac n' cheese. Everybody has a personal preference to this type of comfort food.
Latkas were eggy but still crispy.
Loved the take on noodle kugel, but wish it had one more note of flavor.
Desserts were very good as well. The "Ho-Ho" is the bomb. I loved the Boston Cream Pie although my GF would have preferred a more custard to cake ratio.
I really look forward to returning. This place shows a lot of promise.
Our server could not have been more gracious and sincere.
Oh yeah, the bar car is a stunner! Can't wait to try it!
Carry on....
