| - On a whim, I thought I'd give this place one final try after being disappointed on several occasions before. Bad move.
Once again, this place proved to be the opposite of what a New York or Montreal deli should be. Overpriced. Cold. Lack lustre. The elements of a deli are there, but the effort is not.
To really get a feel for what I'm saying, look no further than the smoked meat combo. A deli staple. And one that I've enjoyed in Delis many, many times. This sandwich is all about excess and spectacle. You're supposed to receive it, observe how ridiculously thick and high the meat is piled, and question your sanity for ordering this pastrami sky scraper. Cut to New York deli and a disgruntled-looking man weighing your meat on a scale before making your sandwich.
And you get it all, with a drink, no pickle, soggy fries and a thimble-sized container of "cole slaw" for $17.00!!!! Not to mention service with a scowl.
For those who call this a deli, I can only wonder if this, in fact, is the only deli you've ever been to?
