    Stick to the main stuff (or desserts) and you will be happy. The chili was watery and kind of blah in flavor as if it had been sitting around for too long. The tuna melt was yummy as was the pastrami and chopped liver. Service was good but so many were involved as the guy that asked us for drinks was not our "waiter" who came around later for the food order. Summary: Good value for the money!

    Good service, great food. Ample portions (pastrami reuben, omelets, chicken salad sandwich, tuna melt, all with great bread) & reasonable prices. A definite must for deli's in the valley. My only improvement would be a bit less sugar in the macaroni salad. The sweetness on the cole slaw was good, but too much on the macaroni salad.

    My favorite deli in the greater Palm Springs area! The food, service and overall experience is always solid. Plus I love being able to get breakfast for lunch or dinner. I try to have at least one meal here whenever I come for a visit to Palm Springs

    Terrific , upscale Mexican themed food with Classic and modern cocktails. Grate quality and the staff could not do enough. But beware parking is a problem as the area is vibrant with shops and other restaurants.

    Glad to have this authentic NY style deli in Palm Springs. Enjoyed my corned beef sandwich and potato salad side along with Matzoh ball soup! Others enjoyed a turkey sandwich and a salad topped with salmon. The waiter was friendly and helpful, as the kitchen was backed up and it took way too long for our food to arrive. Not the waiters fault. Have not had this problem in the past. Maybe only a today problem.

    I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. It was delicious, properly made with romaine, real grilled chicken (still hot from the grill) and came with a quality house-made dressing. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Worth going back for more.
