Cooper S., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on July 30, wrote, “The real deal! First of all, just get the pastrami: it’s out of this world. The most perfect, moist, so-satisfying version of this sandwich I’ve had. … The place is clean, very modern and spacious and the people that work there are super helpful.”
Jennifer L. added, “Pastrami sandwich was simply delicious. Iced tea, refreshing. … The staff were welcoming and service was excellent.”
