Restaurant Review: Goldberg's Famous Delicatessen

Restaurant:	Goldberg's Famous Delicatessen
Cuisine:	Breakfast/Sandwiches/Soup
Rating:	Good Family Fare
Price:	about $50 for a family of five (tip not included)
Location:	3924 Factoria Square Mall SE, Bellevue, WA
Website:	www.goldbergsdeli.com

Date of Visit: 29 Aug 2008

It seems incredible that our last visit to Goldbergs was just over 6 months ago... it seems like just yesterday. We returned again this evening for dinner; again after visiting the Children's museum in Factoria Mall. We learned our lesson from our last visit and ordered Berkeley and Eliana breakfast food (chocolate chip pancakes and French toast respectively) and ordered a hot dog and fries for Olivia. Kristy also had some French toast... very tasty stuff. I ordered a reuben sandwich with corned beef. It was huge! I ate half of it and brought the rest home. I ordered a slice of coconut cake for dessert... it was not that great; I woudn't order it again.

Date of Visit: 08 Feb 2008

We spent the evening at Factoria Mall tonight, we are again staying out of the house as much as we can in lieu of the ongoing millwork painting that is taking place today and yesterday. After some hand wringing while trying to decide on a restaurant, we eventually landed at Goldberg's Famous Delicatessen. Though the name of the restaurant seems somewhat presumptuous, we gave it a try anyway.

The first two things I noticed about Goldberg's deli: 1) it's rather spacious, and 2) the tables are not densely packed together. Great for family dining. The hostess was also nice enough to seat us in a corner booth. Even better.

The menu at Goldberg's features mostly soups and sandwiches as well as breakfast items served all day. Kristy picked out a chicken wrap. We ordered Berkeley and Eliana some pasta and Olivia a stack of pancakes. I opted for the "Challah French Toast". Kristy thoroughly enjoyed her chicken wrap. My French Toast was exceptional... crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Berkeley and Eliana rejected the pasta and ate Olivia's pancakes instead. Olivia was happy to trade - she didn't like the pancakes too much but loved the pasta. Nice job with the guessing there Dad (me).

Summary: Probably the best option for family dining in Factoria Mall.

Home Renovation Project: Attic Conversion: Final Coat on Millwork
The painters the second and final coat of paint on the millwork today. And they laid it one much thicker than they did yesterday. The stairwell and the attic is all tented off to keep the fumes as contained as possible. Tomorrow I'll go up there and open a couple of windows. Even now, late in the evening it's hard to stay up in the attic for much longer than a few minutes without a mask (which I don't have). Because of the fumes, we stayed out late tonight with the kids and brought them home asleep. It sure will be nice to tear down this plastic.
