They can't all be winners...
I came excited when I heard about New York inspired foods with a Jewish flare talked about on yelp. I was ready to enjoy knish, matzo balls and the famous Jewish sliders. Then I got lost in a menu straight from the labyrinth and things went south.
The potato knish was a sad sight. Overly cooked on the corners and it blurred into a mound of oil and disenchantment when cut into. Was I in the right place??
The matzo balls came next I know now they are supposedly made of fried matzo meal with eggs and oil, it made me think it was a fancy version of fry bread. However the texture was too odd for me. Having ranch as a side made these passable but utterly forgettable. Are they supposed to be really really greasy??
My Jewish and Western sliders where nothing to write home about. Although I will write to inform you good people that the bread was the best part. From there on the low quality meat really takes center stage as overly oiled fries with an odd skin( likely frozen) bitters a sweet idea with uninspired compromise. The onion ring batter was bland and the onions were so small I almost missed them.
The food missed the mark. The press this place got was undeserved today but even if it wasn't there were a few other things that would keep me away. But I will only talk about the one.
The Menu!!! What the hell? I need a subway map to navigate the damn thing, well over 80 menu options on board. Breakfast served all day. That's nice except I can't make up my damn mind without pulling out my reading glasses for this epoch of a menu. The items where strewn about with no coherent arrangement beside the common starter/entree array which is still convoluted.
I walked out broke and disgusted with myself , like Vegas but less fun. I would say the greasy and flour loaded meals sound like a good cheat meal, but the only person who gets hurt is you...
Eeck :(
