My wife and I enjoy the 1st. Street Deli. We usually take out the bagel and lox special after we finish a seated dining. This time for some reason the hamburger my wife ordered didn’t smell right to her. I called the waiter over and said we wish to order the bagel and lox entree. I said that I will take my wife’s hamburger home. The waiter stated that every customer can only order one entree, one appetizer and one desert. So I said give me the bagel and lox entree to take out figuring maybe we can eat in our car. The waiter stated again there are no more take out orders. We were shocked and now felt loxed out. Well let us eat cake so my wife ordered her permitted chocolate cake desert. Please tell me this one appetizer, one entree and one desert per customer is not true? There goes my creating a two appetizer meal as I sometimes do. We like the food but this new “requirement “ needs to be axed.

I love New York City pastrami. It is almost impossible to find in Southwest Florida. The "1st Street Deli" sells itself as a "New York City Deli" and in my opinion it does a pretty darn good job. It is a little bit out of the way and you have to walk through a very smoky casino but it is well worth the effort.

Pricey meals. The portions were average. There were plenty of helpful staff. Reminds you of the old diners. A good place to eat breakfast or lunch if you want to stay at the casino.

We arrived approv 25 to 30 mins prior to closing and stood at the hostess stand, being ignored for a few minutes while workers stood there chatting. Empty tables opened. Someone finally came over and said they didn't have any available tables (when I can see them straight ahead). I never arrive close to closing, but the hours were listed wrong on a site. So they refused to seat us, with empty tables, then claimed the kitchen was backed up. Most people had their food, so they were making excuses to not seat anyone. She then said coke back and they might be able to make a sandwich to go.
