    They should consider changing the name: "Reliable Food." Solely based on the name, I thought it's a shady deli. It turned out to be quite the contrary: it's is extremely clean and organized. The organization is actually an OCD level (e.g., all the labels of the packaged products are facing in the same direction!). The section of their hot and cold food is rather impressive. Although everything is very fresh, when it comes to the quality of their food (i.e., taste), it is average. Everything seems reasonably priced (e.g., breakfast panini go for $4~$4.50; they are big enough for lunch).

    If you're staying nearby and want decent breakfast or lunch, this is a good option. I would not take the subway to come here.

    RUDE staff. I don't care how clean the place is or how good the food is. RUDE staff! I'll spend my money elsewhere.

    Not what it used to be!  

    They're starting to seriously skimp on the sandwiches, the tuna especially.  You wind up getting a salad on a roll with a little bit of tuna in the middle.  It's too bad, too, because the food is still very very solid by midtown deli standards.

    The cashiers are vaguely hostile, as well.

    A lot of things here are very overpriced. Food bar is okay. Pretty standard items and they're not bad. I've come here for both breakfast and lunch--breakfast selection is small but okay, and lunch selection is generally the same day over day. Sandwiches are pretty good. Really like the pastrami one. They have a very strict $8 credit card minimum so keep that in mind.

    The two women at the register are EXTREMELY rude. Management needs to re-train these ladies on how to treat customers. I will not return to this establishment.
