Unfortunately they have strayed from their roots as a deli restaurant, but the meat sandwich is delicious as always. Unfortunately I had some trouble communicating with my waitress, but the manager Frenz got everything cleared up and provided great service.

When we came in, we were informed there was a problem in the kitchen and that there would be a 30 minute wait for food but could be seated. We agreed.
During that time, we were not checked on, we had to call someone over to request drinks, and we never received any updates on the situation despite multiple employees passing us repeatedly as well as chatting with each other, joking, etc. There was no sense of urgency.
Once they determined they could start taking orders, we watched as our server went to several tables that were just seated, bypassing us again and again having been seated for about 45 minutes at this point. Again, we had to reach out for an update and were about to walk out... then they told us we could order. We waited another 20 minutes only to find out they'd forgotten about us, and when we finally got our food, it was cold. The food itself wasn't terrible, but it had to have been sitting out for quite a while before we received it.
Based strictly on service alone, I would not recommend anyone come here.
