When you first arrive: The inside of the restaurant is spacious and could easily accommodate smaller parties of 4 (or less). They have a lot of local art throughout the back of the restaurant. It really adds character to the restaurant. The few times I visited they were playing a lot of 2000s music which made the visit even more fun. Service: The few times I visited the staff was extremely friendly. They had no problem customizing one of the popular sandwiches to include an additional ingredient. Food: The sandwich was jam packed with deli meat. I could barely finish the sandwich because it was so think. The ingredients tasted fresh. I was easily able to get two meals from my order. I also was able to split a lox bagel with my husband in a later visit. It was jam packed with salmon so I wasn't left hungry after just half a sandwich. The lox bagel was flavorful and tasted fresh. Overall: I enjoyed my visit to L'Chayim Delicatessen especially for breakfast. The food is simple and tastes fresh. I could easily see myself visiting again in the future.

This is still a favorite morning spot for coffee and a bagel with lox. Great food, friendly staff,…read moreand a laid-back atmosphere.

The fish lacked any seasoning in the breading, was bland as can be. The fries served with were wimpy and soft. The coleslaw tasted like shredded cabbage that someone forgot to get around to making slaw out of. Definitely wouldn't warrant a return trip. The smoked jerky and fish looked good, but didn't try those, prices were high on those as well. I would likely not stop here again.

There was no comparison between the two, the Cove had much, much better food and cocktails. Frito Misto was like it had been left for an eternity in a deep fryer with old oil. The salads tasted of lettuce preserver. There was nothing Margharita-like in the "Margharita panini" - it was like off the shelf bread toasted with some odd-tasting chicken, a small tomato slice and... pesto sauce (?)... the only redeeming feature was the gluten free pizza, which wasn't great but not awful. And then the cocktails... someone went nuts with the simple sugar! Sugar bombs all around! My wife's "Italian Courier" was undrinkable - the server amenably swapped it out for a no alcohol Blueberry Lavender something (with a shot of Tito's), which tasted like neither Blueberry nor lavender... Finally, the interior could use a nice touch up... looking a bit tired, which is how I feel having written this review. Silver lining: our server was very friendly, completely understood our feelings and went out of her way to make our lunch experience a nice one...
