However, I asked to be seated until she arrived and was told I couldn't until she arrived. Secondly, I started to get a headache since I... more

Incredible food - great scene. From the matzoh ball soup to incredible sandwiches to challah bread french toast. Very yummy - was packed every time I went, and I went back more than once after I found it. more
