My wife and I are regular customers and there was nothing regular about our lunch today…read more There were plenty of booths available and we were seated right away, that's where the good part ends. I ordered my regular, pastrami sandwich on rye and a cup of chicken matzoh ball soup. The soup came out lukewarm and without much taste, seconds later came my pastrami which by the time I finished my lukewarm soup the pastrami was also lukewarm - and very greasy. The pickle bar had dry sauerkraut and the pickles were mushy. Got home 8 hours ago and I'm still sick as a dog. My wife ordered her regular turkey sandwich with Russian dressing- turkey is always dry but this tasted old, old and dry. She threw out the 1/2 sandwich she couldn't eat. Even the iced tea was off- too strong and warm even with the ice cubes in it- I guess it was just brewed. Our server was mostly M.I.A.

There's nothing more unassuming then St. Elmo Deli…read more St. Elmo deli is like the color Antique White sitting next to the color Natural Linen on the color swatch. St. Elmo Deli is like Waldo on that page where every other character is wearing a red and white striped sweater and hat. St. Elmo Deli is like lying down a bed, and you're like... "oh what is this a Tempurpedic?" and then the owner replies, "oh no... it's just a memory foam mattress." Ok... so St. Elmo Deli is at the bottom of that large building on Saint Elmo that essentially takes up like a city block. Across from Bach to Rock, Henry's Sweet Retreat, Dominos etc. Like the other stores at the bottom of the building, there is a vertical brown/purple decorative banner that marks the store. Go in... and you'll see the menu is almost entirely made up of a sandwich choices. I decided to get the Turkey, Swiss, and Spouts Sandwich on multigrain. I can't remember... but it had a name. It was like "The St. Elmo Special" or something. Really the main reason I got it was the sprouts. I LOVE ME SOME SPROUTS. I got home to find that there was a little quarter of pickle that was wrapped up and attached my sandwich. Extra cute points. The sandwich itself was next to perfect. It was everything I wanted in a turkey sandwich. Good bread, good amount of turkey, fresh tomato and lettuce. They didn't overdo it with the mayo, and deli meat and cheese were good quality. Next time I'm gonna ask them to toast the bread I'm telling you, it was one dank sandwich; and as it's one of those small little office building delis, the prices were on point. I got that sandwich and a bag of pretzels with everything bagel seasoning on it for 8.65. I wish they had a few more options for sides. They had pasta salad in the little drink/accessory fridge, but it didn't look to fantastic. They had bags of chips and muffins/danishes... but that's about it. Some coleslaw/ potato salad/ egg salad etc would be nice. You'll definitely see me back at St. Elmo Deli soon. Until they put a Jersey Mikes in Bethesda... ( dang I love me some Jersey Mikes), this is a solid cheap lunch option.

Lately, though, it just doesn't feel quite the same. The pizza can still be good at times, but it's not as consistently impressive as it once was.

We didn't have time for the places I sometimes like to eat at in the Row (sit down places that would have taken longer than 30 minutes), and we didn't want to eat at any of the chain places nearby either. Just when we were getting into one of those situations where every option gets shot down until you get desperate and end up somewhere you don't even like, we saw Vace's awning. It looked old school and like they might sell pizza by the slice inside, so we wandered in. Since visiting I've done a little research and now I know that Vace Italian Deli started in DC in 1976 and that it's still family-owned almost 50 years later. They offer 60+ items made in house (fresh deli sandwiches, homemade pasta, and freshly baked pizza) and have small store where you can get plenty of great Italian food items (their olive oils looked amazing and did their anchovies and other jarred items)! We got a couple of slices of pizza each (one cheese and one pepperoni for him, one spinach and one onion for me), which were really great. A great walking lunch, and exactly what we had time for. (I say a walking lunch, because Vace is to go only, there's no where to sit.) I really enjoyed our experience here, and I'm glad we wandered until we found it. A fun surprise in Bethesda.
