The food is excellent. The chef is flexible--there are not a lot of vegetarian choices listed but changes can be made. Sitting outside on the back porch overlooking the golf course is a treat in pleasant weather. Wait staff is pleasant and efficient.

Ate here on a quick lunch stop. Found out quick you canât order from the counter if you want to stay. I sat down and was eating my hot pastrami sandwich within 5 minutes. It was good but it wasnât as big as I would expect for a $10+ sandwich. The rye was just ok. Complementary pickles and coleslaw made it better. Good eats but a bit overpriced.

Much improvedThe atmosphere in this diner is much better since its renovation following a small fire. Our group had lunch here and found it satisfactory.Chicken salad sandwich and wraps were excellent. The atmosphere is better than the Ritz. The menu is more limited. The quality I can not tell how it compares but the fish selections at the Ritz would be hard to equal.

I have been to Landmark several times since my mom loves their hamburgers and lives in the area. My mom and my husband both got hamburgers and they were good as usual. I got the fish and chips and I think the fish was overcooked - the coating was a dark brown.... The chips were actually potato chips and I was expecting french fries and didn't think to ask ahead of time. We got dessert to go and the chocolate mousse cake and the silky peanut butter pie were both good - and rich - two people could - and should - share a piece! It's a pub - so noise level wise it was fine when we first got there, but then got a bit loud for us. But I like the relaxed, accepting pub feel. AND there was actually a bag piper who came and that was fun!
6. Jerusalem West

Let me start by saying this is a very casual counter service restaurant with cafeteria style service and tables. This is not a sit down waiter service restaurant. It is a Kosher restaurant as well, which means it is closed on Saturday.Jerusalem Restaurant has consistently been excellent for as long as I have been going there (over 20 years). If you are interested in Mediterranean style food, they have it all. Chumus, babaganoosh, every type of salad you could think of. What I love about the place are their dinner plates, that allow you to choose any three items behind the counter. Food is clearly prepared fresh, and every day the variety switches up just enough to keep you interested week after week to return. I would say I eat here at least once a week, sometimes more.For those of you interested in Pizza, they have very unusual vegetarian pizzas, for example, Pepperoni, Sausage and onion, Taco pie, Baked ziti pie, stuffed crust, and many more. There is also a fish selection each day and always a small sushi bar, producing decent sushi on the smaller side. (I would not come here for the sushi, but it certainly is not bad, its just not a sushi restaurant). Favorite Dishes: Jerusalem plate (5 different Mediterranean salads and falafel balls and a couple of pita breads), enough to share. I am also a huge fan of the teriyaki salmon.

I visit this place every year my son has a tennis tournament at Livingston HS. The biggest problem I have is that I never know what to get. The corned beef is superb, but then there's great options like "baked sour cream chicken" which is insanely delicious. You can also stay basic and go with a jumbo hot dog/knish combo. It really doesn't matter. It's all just so good. What a treat to have a place this good in town.
4. Eppes Essen

When I was a kid, there were a dozen or more Jewish delis in this area. Eppes Essen is the sole survivor from those days, mostly because it became too expensive to make a proper hot pastrami or Reuben without cutting corners or scrimping on the meat -- hence the "exorbitant prices" that others complain about. Yes, the entrees are expensive -- but most of them will feed two (or 3 or 4), so take that into consideration, and do some sharing, and all of a sudden the check is fairly reasonable. Plus, you can order things like kasha varnishkas that only your grandmother still knows how to make properly, if she's still around. And the nostalgia factor is simply priceless. If you like traditional Jewish soul food, made properly, this is pretty much the only place, other than grandma's house, that you're going to find it. Long live Eppie's!

Their bread is not the same and the butter had freezer burn. Bread sticks seemed stale.Hurts to write this, as it never happened before. This week was better, with bread from the original baker and the butter was fresh. It's always the little things.But they need to get a better handle on their staff, that appears to change weekly. Some are very customer focused, while others just stand around. Bringing back Jerry would be a slam dunk!!!! No body did it better than her- style, grace, demeanor, genuine- the real deal!!!There was not consistency and hopefully they improve every the holidays- or not?

Sweet Basilâs is a relatively small cafe in a strip center that is easy to miss. Service is decent and food good. Salad was very good.
