Delicatessen

Came here around 4pm and the place was packed! The strawberry lemonade was a little bit too sour for me but nonetheless another awesome drink. I came here with my bestfriend and ordered mussels, skirt steak with spinach salad and the chicken. All which were very delicious. We were also seated outside and had an amazing view and breeze. Service was alright but could be better. The food was definitely worth 5 stars though!

Great brunch spot that’s conveniently located within Soho with outdoor seating. The restaurant is opened up, so you get a view.
Food was good and the atmosphere was nice. However the only issue was that the lobster mac I ordered was burnt…

I went to DELICATESSEN recently for an early work lunch. So good! The meatballs with burrata and tomato sauce are amazing! In addition to a very extensive and menu they have an all day breakfast menu. One of my colleagues had the apple pie French toast that I thought was fantastic. Also, if you love truffle their truffle parmesan fries are delicious!
I didn’t try their cheeseburger spring rolls (which I heard are tasty) but I’ll definitely go back!

I find this place over-​rated. Im honestly not a big fan of this place: x
the only thing I like was their shake of the day, mini lobster roll and their fries.
I had their mac’ lobsta, didnt like how its not really crispy as I thought it would be on top or sides.

I’m going to get straight to it, for a city resturant the service is shit! I’ve been there twice and your servers need to be retrained. Yesterday my friend and I came for the 30.00 lunch menu, we sat down at 5:09 to which that menu stops at 5:00 i asked the waiter to give us a minute please, to decide if we still want to eat here or not, He gave us 5 which felt like 20, never acknowledging or making eye contact that we were ready and now waiting on him, Clearly if we’re still sitting there we would like to order. Waiter comes up to us. «Are you ready to order»… Eh WHAT! (I felt because we asked for the 30.00 menu, it was IGNORE CeNTRAL! after that) No, hello my name is _​_​_​_​welcome to delicatessen, I have _​_​_​_​_​_​assisting me so you not have only one attentive server, but two. Can I interest you in our drink specials Or any other special that is going on or a fav dish, would have been more appropriate than that generic Mcdonals introduction.
The service was turning into ok, not so good to bad we had to speak to a manager at this point, he came over and apologized and asked us if we would like something to drink, (clearly we only both had water on the table) I said I did order pineapple juice but I never received it, my food is here, so No I’ll just drink my water. and when my friend asked for tartar sauce, he was handed mayo as the waiter placed it on the table and quickly walked away, never asking us how our dinner was or if he can get us anything else. Please get covered straws, its unsanitary that the assistant server brought our straws to us in his bare hands, my friend politely took a napkin walked up to the bar and got us two straws with the napkin himself, not his bare hands. We were still eating and the original server brought us our check, explained that the manager gave us a discount (we received 20% off of our bill), I could care less about the discount that is not the point! Customer service is missing, I had to laugh at this point, and call him back over and ask if everything was ok with him, We are servers as well as we all have our bad days, but we’re still eating our table is not cleaned you haven’t once asked how is every thing and we’re going to order desserts and neither of us asked for the check, to which he said «i have someone shadowing me and he told me that you wanted the check» so he picked it back up off the table. (Thats low key industry waiter move meaning I’m ready for these guest to leave) even if his assistant server did say that we wanted our bill, our table is still dirty, so I observed to see if he brought a bill out to any of his other tables, and he didn’t, so where was the confusion over what check to drop at the incorrect table, couldn’t have been the two ladies next to us, they were still eating a ceaser salad, couldn’t have been the 4 tourist in front of me because they’re still looking at the menu, After all this we still left 20% tip, out of courtesy, because we know the struggle of waiting tables, but your resturant staff has to do better.

Just finished a lovely brunch here in which I opted for the prefix lunch and I have to say I’m really impressed with this restaurant. I normally overlook any place around this area since the price you pay is usually super high compared to the quality of food you get but I was pleasantly surprised. The fried tuna avocado roll appetizer was amazing. The fried chicken was really moist but it needed a little salt and pepper. The jalapeño bread was great but the Cole slaw was a bit too creamy, maybe a vinegar based slaw would be better. I love the airy vibe in here as well. Perfect for summer days.

Right in the heart of soho, delicatessen always had a piece of my heart! From location to ambiance, ambiance to food, food to customer service, almost perfection!
By far my most favorite appetizer are the Korean wings!!! Now they come about 4 in a plate (which I don’t think is enough) but I get it!
Reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because at times the staff can tend to forget about you and you end up waiting a long time for either a refill or the check. It is very demanding, especially at night, but I believe they can find way to improve overall wait time.
Longtime customer and first time reviewer for this wonderful establishment.
Well until next time Unilocal Family!

It’s a good restaurant, but I’m not sure if it stands out especially in the area. There are so many delicious places a block or two from here that I sort of regret eating here. I’d say it’s a consistently okay place that elevates regular dining experiences, but you pay for it with your wallet.
I got the asparagus soup which was good. The scallops entrée was creative and visually appetizing. The scallops themselves were tender and juicy, but I’m a huge fan of scallops so as long as it’s cooked properly, then I’m a fan. I don’t know if it’s $ 28 worth, but nonetheless good.
The service is good. He basically tried to recommend the entire menu, but he was being friendly so we didn’t mind. Also tried to give us wine pairings which was nice of him.
My favorite part was the rhubarb pie. I love rhubarb desserts and pie form is even better.
I don’t think I would come back, but I don’t regret my meal here. Still yummy.

A Freind recommended this place so we came here for dinner. Service was really slow. The food was ok. For appetizer: we had the truffle spinach & artichoke dip, we didn’t like it cuz of the tortilla chips were very oily. We also had the cheeseburger spring rolls, there were so good. For main dishes we had the classic burger which was basic. We didn’t like the salmon burger. The Salmon was very thin and dry.

Thanks for great service! Classic burger combined with French Fries is just out of my world!
If you are there, just must try;)

It’s very pretty here, but the food is just ok. Prices are very high. My entrée (diver sea scallops $ 39) came out lukewarm and the asparagus were too fibrous and difficult to eat. The cheeseburger spring rolls taste exactly as you would imagine, and only came with 4 pieces. Truffle fries were pretty good. Do not get the jalapeño biscuit, only one dry piece, biggest disappoint of the night.
The star of this place is there selection of amazing desserts. The lemon meringue bombe is as good as it sounds and the cookies and cream milk shake with toasted marshmallows was decadent and satisfying. I think this place is best to enjoy dessert after getting your fill of Macbar next door first.

I came here with my fiancé on Good Friday around 2pm for a late brunch. The restaurant is in a prime location, taking up a good amount of real estate as well as taking a corner spot on the block. Our wait was about 30min or so, most likely b/​c of the holiday. Because it was a nice day, we got a seat outside — the interior is very well designed so either way it’s bueno.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time here. We ordered:
Cheeseburger Spring Rolls (just to try)
Steak & Eggs
Signature Burger
Apparently the craze here is the cheeseburger spring rolls. I thought they were average — it tasted exactly as expected: a cheeseburger, in a spring roll. It was certainly tasty, but very salty. The Steak & Eggs were underwhelming. I’ve had much better steak and eggs. The Steak tasted a bit burnt, and it definitely had some Korean marination/​seasoning (not a bad thing but intriguing to say the least).
My favorite by far was the signature burger: special blend ground beef, crisp pork belly, charred tomato, fried egg, brioche bun lathered with warm «cheese sauce.» The ground beef was very well seasoned, the fried egg is always an amazing touch, and the crispy pork belly was very decadent and definitely a twist. I couldn’t fit the lettuce and onions into the burger so I ate those separately. Fries were just alright — some of them felt like they were sitting around forever.
We also got two Allagash White’s at $ 8 a pop. Pretty expensive if you ask me but that’s just a heads up.
Overall, definitely a 4. While it might have seemed like I was critical of the menu, the food was still delicious, and the ambiance really creates a great buzz. I’d definitely come here again to try more stuff on their menu.

I’ve been to cafeteria… It was good, I had chicken and waffles. Delicatessen is cool and casual. Service was okay and the menu was a little uninspired. I had a steak salad. A huge portion of skirt steak, marinated in soy ginger dressing and over a bed of spinach and cucumbers. My wife had Brussels sprout salad and lobster bisque. We ordered truffle fries which came out cold. Bummer. They quickly replaced them but they were forgettable. Pretty good. Sorry for the short review. I wouldn’t «not go back» but I’m not planning a second visit.

Friday night dine out @ 7:30pm.
Wait was about 40 minutes. Passed the time by what else? Drinking! I’ve realized I really really REALLY dislike any pink drinks, just too fruity and not my ish.
Truffle fries were good, nothing special. Portion was plentiful. My order of lunguini with clams was a little too saucey, kind of resembled a fettuccine sauce, not particularly appetizing. There was also a pile of melted parmesean cheese atop… Reeaaaally didn’t like that. Seafood and cheese should be eaten separately, not together, and not in heaping shavings. The third glass of wine kind of helped me get through said dish. Clams were good though, can’t forget the clams!
Restaurant atmosphere is trendy. And if you’re lucky, you can say hello to Padma Lakshmi in the bathroom stall. Her photo, along with other models are strategically used as wallpaper so you can enjoy up to 10 pair of eyes staring at you while you do your bizz.

Stopped by this place as we were walking around Soho. The interior is very nice and the staff seems pretty nice as well. I didn’t expect to order anything too heavy, for everything seemed like it would be very filling, so I got the lobster mac n’ cheese. It was sizzling hot and a little too cheesy, but I finished most of it anyway. My friend ordered the salmon burger which looked pretty good – lettuce & tomato included. The side (fries) was very large, which satisfied the both of us.
I usually determine my final rating of a restaurant based on its dessert, so if the main dishes were pretty OK, but the dessert was great, then I’d give the place an extra star. This place’s dessert was just the opposite for me; we ordered 3 scoops of ice cream. Firstly, 3 scoops literally meant 3 tiny scoops in an over-​sized bowl. Secondly, $ 10 for OK ice cream is really not okay, especially considering the fact that all the desserts on the menu were $ 10. Lastly, I probably didn’t have a tongue for the flavors that came: vanilla, gingerbread, and salted caramel, or these flavors were just too «homemade» for me. The gingerbread tasted like raw ginger and the salted caramel did not taste good at all. My stomach was not happy afterward.
Might still come back next time to order something different but would definitely be smarter about my dessert choice. Great place for brunch if you want to rest after shopping!

This is a terrific brunch spot! We walked passed this restaurant on the way to Balthazar last week and took a peek at the menu. Plenty of terrific options and they serve breakfast all day.
On New Year’s Day we decided to try and get in for brunch. It was our lucky day because we didn’t have to wait for a table.
The space is really nice, very open with a lot of natural light. We had:
Truffle Fries — delicious with lots of parmigiana cheese grated on top
Avocado Toast — With 2 poached eggs, sea salt and some red pepper flake — so good! The unexpected kick at the end of each bite was great!
Breakfast Burrito — super good — eggs, cheese and sausage
Pancakes — delicious with cherry syrup
Lobster Mac n Cheese — very good. This was my daughter’s meal and we were all sneaking bites of it.
2 Eggs with Sausage — delicious
Coffee — delicious, they use La Colombe
Strawberry Lemonade — I didn’t get to taste it but my girls loved it.
The service was really good, not too fast or too slow and the bathrooms were very clean.
We had a great meal and would definitely come back for brunch, lunch or dinner!

So I think visiting this location about 5 times in 2 weeks is a key indicator that I like this spot. I work about a block away from this establishment and I remember waking past here several times during the spring and summer and it is ALWAYS full of people.
The perfectly decorated space has off white sofas, beautiful wood, properly placed mirrors, and a large bar. The employees are pleasant and professional. They owned by the same group of people of Cafeteria in Chelsea but this space gives you the feeling of the more laid back crowd.
I have had the breakfast burrito, and shrimp dumplings so far and everything is GREAT! They also own the Mac Bar next door which I frequent and they sell the same Mac n cheese here as well.
This is a great place for lunch with large or small groups. They do take reservations and I recommend making them if you are having large groups.

The best Mac n Cheese ever. I got the margarita flavor and it was simply delicious. My date ordered the duck flavored, which was amazing as well. I actually preferred his over mine but both are worth a try.
We ordered Cheeseburger spring rolls and truffle fries as an appetizer but I wish I didn’t order them because I was unable to finish my Mac n Cheese. The cheeseburger spring rolls was really different and are worth a try. The fries were good too but nothing different than any other restaurant.
There is a Mac n Cheese bar at the back, which I wish I went to because that way I could have tried different flavors since they have a small, medium and large portion size there but if you have it at the main dining area, it only comes in one size.
Definitely coming back to try the Mac n Cheese bar.

Had brunch here with a friend as Jack & Frieda’s wife was packed :(We waited here about 5 minutes at the bar before we were seated. The place was already pretty packed around 1 – 2 pm upon arriving. I ordered the lobster mac & cheese with strawberry lemonade. My friend ordered a breakfast dish that included eggs with smoked salmon, potatoes, and toast. We ended up splitting an appetizer of the cheeseburger spring rolls (included nano sized pickles-​cute touch).
Overall pretty attentive with service and a good brunch spot.

It certainly feels like LA in here, doesn’t it? Don’t let the name fool ya. Sure, they make a Reuben for $ 16, but this place is no Katz’s. With an eclectic, left-​of-​center playlist on the speakers and a lot of thin-​boned diners, presumably bulimics, eating stacks of pancakes at neighboring tables, I felt like I was meeting my agent in a Beverly Hills restaurant negotiating a role as a crabby Chinese waiter on «Fresh Off the Boat». But no, this was SoHo where a whole other breed of urbanite grazes on comfort food with a fresh twist.
Fried chicken, stuffed pork chops and a pan-​roasted chicken thigh sandwich were prominent on the dinner menu, but I came in for breakfast on a brisk Saturday morning so eggs were on my mind. Even though I was tempted by the $ 6 Mini-​Lobster Rolls and even the $ 12 Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, I decided to order smart and tried the $ 12 Avocado Toast, a couple of strategically placed poached eggs on multi-​grain wheat toast with a mound of avocado sprinkled with sea salt and chili flakes and drizzled with olive oil (photo:
).
Along with a side of arugula and pan-​roasted potatoes, it was just the egg dish I was looking for without a lot of heft. As a chaser, I continued my health streak with the $ 11 Kale Salad which featured shiitake mushrooms, golden raisins, cashews and sprouts, all of it tossed in a silken tofu mirin vinaigrette (photo:
). This was a refreshing variation on kale with enough contrasting textures to make it taste heartier than I was expecting. No $ 14 Apple Pie-​Stuffed Brioche French Toast for me. Surprised? Me too, but sometimes I can pull off the whole healthful eater image, but it’s tough in Manhattan.
FOOD — 4 stars… healthy options that actually taste very good and satisfying for breakfast
AMBIANCE — 3.5 stars… LA was too much for this man
SERVICE — 3.5 stars… a bit on the tentative side but at least trying
TOTAL — 4 stars… solid SoHo option for breakfast, not sure about other meals but the mac n’ cheese selection is tempting

THE spot !
J’y suis allée plusieurs fois durant mes séjours à NYC (bon ok pas mal de fois, mais j’adore cet endroit). Le service est à l’américaine, rapide, serviable, et toujours sympa. La déco de l’endroit est vraiment cool, assez épurée, à la mode, on se sent branchés rien qu’en entrant dans le resto. Lumières tamisées et bougies le soir.
Niveau nourriture j’ai eu l’occasion de tester plusieurs plats. Leur tartare de thon est vraiment très bons, leurs desserts également (quoiqu’assez spéciaux, né vous attendez pas au classique fondant au chocolat) mais le plat qu’il faut absolument essayer, ce sont bien sûr les Mac&Cheese! Ici c’est leur spécialité et on en a pour tous les goûts. Du classique au plus raffiné, avec mille et un ingrédients, il faudrait tous les tester tellement ils sont bons. J’ai personnellement craqué pour celui à la truffe, et il est à se damner ! Bön par contre, comme un bon Mac&Cheese, on né commande pas de dessert après, c’est à peine si on arrive à le finir.
Mon autre grand coup de coeur de ce restaurant, c’est bien sur les frites aux truffes. Je né peux pas m’empêcher, quelque soit le plat commandé, de prendre une portion de frites aux truffes en side. J’aime vraiment beaucoup trop, je pourrais en manger tous les jours, faites des frites aux truffes en France s’il vous plaît, ça fait un peu cher le billet d’avion juste pour se régaler les papilles sinon :((je suis vraiment addict).
Ajoutez le fait qu’ils servent à n’importe quelle heure de la journée, et c’est bon, vous pouvez y aller ;)
(si vous y allez rapportez moi des frites à la truffe, svp)

Schöner Outdoor-​Sitzplatz, perfekt für den Sommer. Komische, ziemlich unfreundliche Kellner. Leckeres Essen — Slow-​Cooked Chicken & Turkey Chili war perfekt, und mein Salmon Burger war auch besser als die andere Salmon Burgers, die ich in New York gehabt habe (man findet sie nicht so häufig als man denken würde).
Im Allgemeinen würde ich sagen, dass außer den Kellnern unser Erlebnis perfekt war. Wenn man einfach ein bisschen netter wäre, wäre es perfekt gewesen.

Quelle déception. Peux-​être est-​ce du au plat que j’ai commandé (un plat sucré salé, Texas quelque chose) mais il est supposé être un classique du restaurant et aucune des 4 personnes l’ayant commandé n’a aimé.
Sinon l’endroit n’a pas vraiment de charme.

Une merveilleuse découverte dans SoHo!
J’y suis allée après la recommandation d’un ami et je n’ai vraiment pas été déçue! Le décor du restaurant est très beau et épuré, on a envie d’y rester pendant des heures à boire du bon vin en discutant avec des amis. L’ambiance est chaleureuse, à l’image des employés qui y travaillent. Il est situé à l’angle de rues très animées (Lafayette et Prince).
Notre serveuse était tellement gentille! Nous avions envie de lui faire une place à notre table! J’y suis allée avec mon copain, 2 fois plutôt qu’une en l’espace d’une semaine. À ces deux reprises, nous avons été servis par cette même serveuse, qui nous a reconnu lors de notre deuxième visite. En discutant de nos goûts avec elle, elle a su bien nous conseiller. Tous les plats que nous avons pris étaient déééélicieux! Gigantesques burgers, excellentes frites, macaroni au fromage à faire rêver (essayez celui au canard, miam!). Ils offrent également des plats plus frais et légers (salade, fruits de mer, etc.).
Les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables, tout autant pour la nourriture que l’alcool, compte tenu que le restaurant est situé dans un quartier à la mode de Manhattan. Lors de notre première visite, nous avons même pu assister à un tournage qui avait lieu juste en face du restaurant!
