Food: Omelettes come with fresh fruit, hamburger is ground on site, and deserts are home-made. The menu offers classic Jewish Deli items (corned beef, pastrami, chop liver, tongue) as well as breakfast and dinner items, soups, salads and weekly specials such as Morrocan Lamb over Cous Cous and Potato Encrusted Salmon.
Service: Unless it's Sunday or a holiday, in which case there may be a line, service is prompt. Some meals, such as well-done burgers or the thick steaks, take some time as they are cooked to order; deli items generally arrive quickly. Food servers know a lot about the food and give the best service possible- like all restaurants, if understaffed, service is naturally slower.
Value: Kosher food is expensive; dairy substitutes are expensive, maintaining a Kosher seal is expensive, importing fresh food is expensive. Yes, Rubins is expensive, but fairly priced nonetheless.
Pros: home-cooked food, large menu, Glatt kosher
Cons: expensive
