We were so excited to find this lovely spot. The ambience is retro and fun without taking itself too seriously. But they do take their food seriously. The menu has plenty for everyone and the combinations of flavors are ingenious and delicious. I tried an egg creme for the first time -- with their home made syrup. I was worried that it would be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced. Our food was also delicious. The potato latkes with lox and caviar was amazing. We will be back!
Julia and Isabella were the kindest sweetest and most attentive young ladies. I really appreciate the fact how they have all hands in and all hands out. Clean interior and intentionally designed, I just love the concept. I will be back. Shout out to the restaurant owners with these 3D printer masterpieces.
As always, the food was amazing, that atmosphere was fun and inviting. Service was A. Our server, Kristin, was kind and attentive. She was very knowledgeable about the food and was patient with my indecisive 83 year old dad! I highly recommend Palm Ave Deli for a fresh, delicious meal and great service.
Found this place last year and fell in love with their food. My wife and I tried few different dishes and we loved all of them. My favorite is the deluxe burger. I add a side of chicken liver and put it inside. So delicious.
Thank you, Sam for a wonderful experience this afternoon. Our food was amazing and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend the salmon and cheesecake when you visit!
For a slice of the Big Apple in downtown Sarasota, you can't go wrong with Palm Avenue Deli. We were greeted warmly, seated right away and were practically doted on by the wait staff. The atmosphere was very bright and clean. And the food. Wow. This place is an instant favorite. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries, a side of crispy brussel sprouts, and my wife had the creamy bow tie mac and cheese with fries. Also, DONT FORGET THE PICKLE!!! Even the cappuccino was spot on. Can't wait to go back and work our way through the menu.
Ambiance: I love the decor! It makes me feel like I’m in a NY Deli; the subway tiles, the curved accented edges across all of their furniture and walls, the copper lighting. It’s just beautiful. The one thing is that it is a bit warm inside, I believe it’s due to the fans’ winter/cold setting, so it’s sucking up the cold air to the ceiling vs. in summer mode that pushes the air downwards. Manager, change the fan settings Food: So far all the food we’ve gotten has been delicious. Potato Latkes, Potato Knish, Creamy Tomato Soup, Aged Cheddar Grilled Cheese, Pastrami, and Rachel. The meat was tender and easy to bite through, full of flavor. The Latkes and Knish, crispy. The tomatoes soup was “chunky” and held exceptionally well to the grilled cheese sandwich, loved it. Service: servers have been attentive and help each other out. Price: it’s reasonable for the quality you get.
I went to this deli for lunch. 3 sandwiches, a cup of soup and a bag of chips plus tax and tip was 70. I walked out thinking it'd better be good for that price and it didn't disappoint. The sandwiches were the best quality meat that I ever had from a deli. The tomato soup was delicious. I went back the next day for breakfast and ordered bunch of stuff. You need to try the syrniki This little fried pancakes serve with condensed milk is a must. Not an average deli, New York style food and price, but it's a must try for foodies in Sarasota!
