    The wait was long but worth it. We got the Anne platter and it was more than enough for four of us.

    Smoked salmon platter can be shared. Crispy potato latkes with apple sauce. Sadly dry chocolate babka French toast.

    Their blintzes must have 😋😋. Open for pick-up and have a small seating area outside. A little costly.

    The coffee culture in US leaves much to be desired when I was served water when I ordered a flat white... that said, the food was great! Note to self: always check drinks menu first

    The new-catch Holland herring served in a hot-dog bun is the best thing you will ever try here. Unfortunately it's an early summer treat only.

    Get the Halva ice cream. Not too sweet, and the perfect way to balance your palate after having fish.

    The only downside to this place is the wait time. Get there early or be forced to walk around for an hour and half until they call you.

    The soft scramble eggs with caviar is the best 60$ you'll spend. New favorite breakfast place!

    Better spot if alone. I had no wait, often free bar stool. Lox is awesome. Bagel is solid but better around.

    The portions are delicious, but on the small side (especially for what you pay). Order a couple of things if you're actually hungry.
