A truly memorable spot by the water! The ambiance was calm and relaxing, with a gentle breeze and stunning views of the waterfront. The menu had a great variety, and every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience feel effortless. Perfect place for a romantic dinner or a peaceful evening with friends.

Not impressed. Best part was the Lay’s BBQ chips. Ordered a gyro beef wrap and got a chicken wrap. Ordered a 1/2 Greek salad with chicken and it had a few cubes of chicken. Not worth $18.
There was no AC, it was a nice day outside but a hotbox in there.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Stopped by Erik’s Deli & Eatery for lunch, and this spot definitely hits the mark! Ordered the Turkey Avocado Club ($12)—fresh turkey, crispy bacon, and just the right amount of avocado on perfectly toasted bread. Also grabbed a side of macaroni salad ($4), which was creamy and well-seasoned. To drink, I had their homemade lemonade ($3.50)—tangy, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Spent about $20, and for the portion size and quality, it's a solid deal. Service was quick, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely a go-to spot for a fresh, no-nonsense sandwich downtown!

Had a bowl of beef chili and baklava, the chili was heated, I get it as it was a Friday, but it was more liquid than anything, hardly any meat at all, bumped to three stars for offering baklava.

The soup and sandwiches we got were a delight. The Big Tony was the star of the show for us. We also got the Italian beef, which was very spicy. They warned us about the spice level and it exceeded spice expectations. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. We got it to go as we walked over from the train station during a layover. If you found this review helpful, please give a ?

New fav tbh! Decent (meaning, very good) deli in downtown. Friendly staff, super affordable, and quick + good options. It was worth skipping the Union Station food court. Short walk too.

Turkey wrap with bacon was basically shredded lettuce on a stale tortilla. They forgot the bacon entirely, two thin slices of tomato, thinner slices of turkey. Almost $12 wasted. I was told by my colleagues not to go there but didn't listen. Not worth the convenience.

Very good food, nice selection, fair prices, and friendly people and environment. Much better than any of the chain places. Try it, you'll like it.

Very friendly staff, clean deli.Veggie sandwich was ok but I would not eat it again. It had canned mushrooms which had a certain smell to them, not sure if it thats normal for canned but it ruined the sandwich. Maybe instead use fresh mushroom.

Had the worst “chorizo” tacos today.

Microwaved old eggs with bacon and chipotle sauce which tasted just like spoiled pork. Never coming back especially with all the flies in the food station.

The chicken wrap was so dry it literally got caught in my throat! The worst sandwich I've ever eaten in my entire life, if I hadn't walked all the way back to work I would have turned right back around and gotten my money back. Absolutely horrible worst $11 I've ever spent.
