I came for the sourdough bagels and thought I would be blown away by the delicious texture and taste. The bagels were ok and awfully chewy like rubber. Ive also had better lox. It was ok. Service was great as was the atmosphere. Ill surely be going back for the sourdough pizza as it surely looks 5 star worthy.
