    Hidden in a Publix shopping center is Long Island style deli. The average age appeared to be 100. I ordered chicken soup to go. It was as prepared quickly & was the he going price. The soup had big chunks of chicken but was too salty for me. I would come back again but I would not order soup.

    Veggie omlette

    I don't know about you but whenever I eat an omlette that is a cause for celebration. I was here a few months ago after a few times they got it right Ambiance good Service could be choppy like listening to a short wave radio

    I'm not sure how they can even begin to call themselves a New York deli or try to even pretend they are a real deli or that anyone there has ever been to New York. First, my husband orders a panini. First the counter/cashier/greeter guy behind a small, teeny tiny counter (not a deli) gets something from the freezer, microwaves it and then puts it in the panini maker. I've never seen him gag that much from disgust after he took his first bite, or throw out a sandwich so fast, after he attempted a second bite. (We did take out and were already home, so there was no sending it back.) I ordered a New York bagel with "lots of cream cheese" and lox. Okay ... So, it's basically the bagel equivalent of what you might find in any cheap bodega/"deli"/grocery. Not very big. Not at all New York, and not very fresh. The "lots of cream cheese" was literally two of those .75 oz. Original Cream Cheese Spread Portion Cups that they give you in airports or bodega/"delis" that barely spread a tiny thin layer of "cream cheese" on the bagel with a few tiny slices of onion and a piece of lox for over $20. I can usually fake my way throw most bagels. But it wasn't lightly toasted or toasted at all like I asked, was disgustingly not fresh (the bagel) and I ended up throwing it away. That said, the cup or ice water I ordered was cold and delish. Hence the one star. I wish I could leave zero stars because this was a zero star restaurant. Their business is mostly derived clearly from elderly residents who happen to be in that shopping center going to a doctor's appointment (which my parents were doing when we went to grab a bite) and have no other dining options besides an Italian restaurant at the other end. This is offensive to New York, to New Yorkers, to anyone with any sense of taste and any person who like food. How they are still in business is mind boggling. Oh, by the way, don't ask any of the wait staff to get you a glass of water while you wait for your expensive, over priced and unedible food. Despite the three tables seated, they can't be bothered. They're too busy being bored.

    Loud power drills and hammering right next to people trying to eat.
    Chad R.

    Like trying to dine in a loud construction site. Just feet away from diners the staff were hammering, drilling, and yelling at each other. Very inconsiderate. The manager injured his hand while moving a heavy box and screamed at his employees in front of everyone. I dined here once before, in November of 2020, and the service was horrible so I never came back until today. I'd hoped for a better experience but I should have brought ear protection.

And for good measure, I added a Schmear of chopped liver. This turned out to be one of the most outstanding deli sandwiches I have ever eaten. The deli was fresh and delicious and without ordering it lean it was in fact quite lean just the way I liked it. The flavors all complimented each other and nothing was overdone. The sandwich was in a word outstanding served with a sude of the best potato salad, you will ever taste as well as complementary pickles, like the deli of old would do and even some delicious extra bread. I just loved it and I had to bring my wife back for a second visit. This visit was even better than the first. I got an over stuffed two meat sandwich of pastrami and corn beef. It was absolutely wonderful. Same excellent service. There is so much on the menu. I want to try that I will be stopping there pretty much every time I pass by.

The bagels here are fresh enough that they don't need a toaster to begin with, which is exactly why I asked for it untoasted. Even with the unnecessary trip through the toaster, it was still a really good sandwich. The tuna salad is creamy, well seasoned, and they even let me sample it before ordering, which is always appreciated. Confidence in your food says a lot. The pickle on the side had that perfect crisp snap every good deli pickle should have. The only thing that missed the mark was the macaroni salad. The flavor is there, but the pasta was overcooked and a little mushy. If they tighten that up, it's an easy win. The restaurant itself is surprisingly large, clean, and comfortable, and everyone I dealt with was genuinely friendly. Overall, this is the kind of neighborhood bagel shop you hope to find. Good food, good people, and just enough personality to make you want to come back.
