I had been meaning to visit ever since I saw \"Montreal Smoked Meat\" on the menu- possibly one of the greatest deli options out there. The decor was nice, everything was clean and we were promptly seated. The waitress was quick to serve us water and take our order (though to be fair, there were very few people there at a 5pm that Sunday). The first thing I noticed was that they had already raised their prices compared to the menu I saw posted online. (I do find it a hassle that they have no website with menu posting). But I was willing to live with the increase, as I've never seen a place offer Montreal Smoked Meat outside of Montreal. \n\nI ordered that 1/2 lb sandwich, with coleslaw. At first inspection, its about a 4 inch tall sandwich with plenty of meat. But i like to eat my sandwiches open-face, so I opened it up, and suddenly I'm staring at strips of fat. I would say probably a third of the sandwich was pure fat. Half of it was decent corned beef, and the rest was corned beef laced together with fat. I was somewhat disappointed how much effort I had to put into dissecting my sandwich to remove the fat. The corned beef itself was tasty, though not as Montreal-style as I remember. In fairness, since I don't have a picture of the tasty-looking \"before\" picture, I won't post the mound of fat \"after picture\". I was a bit surprised the waitress ignored it when she took away my plate.\n\nThe coleslaw was cream-based, which I generally don't prefer to vinegar based. But it was tasty. It was in a little chinese take-out container, so as I got closer to the bottom, it was really just a soup of coleslaw cream, which I can't really eat.\n\nMy fiance ordered the \"Grilled Salmich\"- basically a salmon fillet atop a pita. She says it was fine. I tasted it too, and I thought it was good, but not particularly flavorful.\n\nOverall, I wouldn't call this a replacement for really good Jewish Deli based on these two dishes. In NYC, you get tons more, leaner corned beef, at a price that is only a few dollars higher than this. I didn't dislike it, but it just didn't astound me enough to be put in the rotation of regular frequented restaurants."^^ .
