I didn't have breakfast and was looking forward to an early lunch before my meeting.Got there about 11:30am there were a few "suits" sitting at the bar watching NBA and drinking beer, and another couple sitting at a table eating. All seems well as I ordered the classic pastrami with fries and a side order of creamy coleslaw.The wait was short as it was ready for pick up in 5 minutes. As it was a sunny and warm day I thought I would eat outside by the fountain. Everything looked right when I opened the box and was looking forward to my first bite...Well the brisket was too salty and heavily seasoned. Also the brisket was cut wafer thin and it was all pre sliced in a big metal dish which I saw at their preparation area. It wasn't even busy then and they couldn't be bother to slice it fresh on order.Back to the brisket, my mouth could only taste of saltiness as there was no beef flavour at all! I was so tempted to throw the sandwich away but did not have time to buy another lunch before my meeting so I tried to keep going... The fries were hot but it was too tough and had no crunchiness on them whatsoever.  I took a couple more and gave up the rest The sandwich I managed to finish but regretted it afterwards as I was so thirsty and drank almost a litre of water.The only decent thing about the meal was the coleslaw, the vegetables were crunchy and the dressing was just right.If that is the quality they consistently served how on earth do they manage to stay in business? The sandwich I had at Main Street Deli was still way off on what I had in New York, but it was still much better than what I had today.Morty's "The Ultimate Sandwich"?

I went there for dinner last night for special celebration and everything about the place was just amazing!As soon as you step in from the busy streets of Causeway Bay, you feel you have stepped into another world. The manager Paul was very attentive throughout and brought a really nice personal touch to the service.As for the food, my gf and I were both speechless. Their oyster shooter was so nice and sweet we ordered another one as soon as we had the first one.We order vegetable dishes but each dish had its own unique flavour and it was simple and yet complex. Each bite of the food brought a new sense to the taste bud. Towards the end of the evening I feel I must have had over 40-50 different flavours going through my mouth and each time it tasted new and exciting.We ordered 2 oyster shooters each, 2 starters, 2 main course, a mixed dessert platter, a bottle of wine and some mineral water. It came to $1800 + 10% service charge for 2 persons but every $ was worth it.I would go back again to try their other dishes as they change their menu 2-3 times a year according to the season.…Read More
