It a shame, I'd heard, years ago that the smoked fish was really quite good, with that as a draw and it was akin to Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, diBruno's in Philadelphia or as you said, Zabar's, or what one can grab from the various and sundry close proximity shops in North Beach in SF. Thank for the clarification. The staff in their cafe sound like they will be without jobs soon enough. You'd think their manager would understand turning over tables is key to profitability? Oh well, as always, you are saving me time and akin having my personal travel guide to a city's food scene that I used to know, granted never as well as you.
