The flashing neon sign that says 'French Dip Pastrami' is an instant draw. Once seated, you’re served up a complementary cup of pickles, which are very good I must add. I was instantly confused when I didn’t see French Dip on the menu. The waitress informed me that their signature dish, the Hot Pastrami is made French-Dip style in their ‘specialty prepared sauce’, which I assume is a pan full of greasy succulence. I was curious because if they did indeed dip the sandwich why wasn’t it soggy? To the contrary, the exterior of the roll had a delicate yet nice crunch. But it still had the radiant sheen of a fully dipped sandwich. The pastrami in the roll is not like the traditional sliced pastrami on rye and in my experience can be very hit or miss. This pastrami was a hit, dead on. The only setback is that the sandwich does not come with any potato salad or coleslaw, which I almost expect when paying top dollar at one of the cities premier pastrami properties. It was top of the line in flavor none-the-less. I can’t wait to return to try some of their other offerings.
