A Jewish restaurant in business for over 100 years, established in 1912! The restaurant looks like an old school diner, and there’s a bakery on the side for take out. I got several interesting traditional Jewish dishes:
Nova Lox Appetizer $12.49
Gefilte Fish (Sweet) $10.99
+ Green Split Pea Soup $3.99
Potato Latke with Sour Cream $2.99
Challah French Toast $9.99
These dishes were rather simple, and most of the items I ordered were of Eastern European / Ashkenazi Jewish origin. However, I was glad to have this new experience. My favourite here is the pea soup; it had a nice touch of dill and good hearty creaminess. Reminds me a bit of baby food then. Most interesting dish is the gefilte fish. It was served the traditional style, chilled with horseradish (tasted like the fake wasabi made from horseradish). The waitress saw that I wasn’t having a good time, and offered me a heated version instead with hot sauce, and that was a lot better.
Service here is top-notch. My server, Gloria, was very helpful and explained the dishes to me in detail and making sure I was comfortable with my dishes, as I am new to the cuisine. I give this 5 stars because of her! However, food presentation was incredibly sloppy, which could be off-putting. Items also come at very spaced out time intervals.
