I truly frequent this joint for the matzo ball soup. The matzo ball are so delicious, delicate and seasoned perfectly. The broth might be from a box or can but those matzo ball could heal.
Crab cakes: Under-seasoned and bland. Best part was the lightly dressed cabbage slaw.
Chicken wings: Decent
Fish & chips: Under-seasoned and bland. Accidentally gave cocktail vs. tartar sauce.
Tuxedo cake: Not sweet enough and dry. I’ve had better from Costco.

Stopped for quick dinner before the Opera. We were seated quickly, and the speed of the service was appreciated in order to make it to the performance on time. Enjoyed the wedge salad, Reuben sandwich and hot fudge sundae.
