Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The crowds that fill this eatery are as much a testament to the hunger of area residents for good Jewish-style food as a recognition that the place has succeeded in supplying it. But there is much that pleases. The matzo-ball soup is very good, with large, light matzo balls and pieces of chicken and noodles immersed in a tasty broth. So are the stuffed cabbage and the chopped chicken liver.
Sandwiches are okay.
Among the smoked fish, the sable is excellent, the Nova Scotia salmon and whitefish only average. Main courses of flank steak and a beef stew special are adequate. The rye bread is excellent, and the pickle bar, with its large variety, is a very nice touch. 2001 by Washington Magazine Inc.
