So my beloved Lora Papetsas, who is a Michelin star trained chef not only in French cuisine but…read morealso in Italian cuisine when she had a 20+ year run in her restaurant up in Cape Cod always cook something wonderful for us. However, we wanted to try something that seemed very interesting. I found the Milano market that offers great sandwiches which is up the block from a friend of mine's high-end supermarket on the west side. After looking at this, we decided to order four sandwiches. A salmon, Eggplant Parm, Cuban and Italian sub sandwiches. I have to say the most important thing in the sandwich is the bread. They offered like fresh baked rustic Ciabatta, and heros. Plus from the panoply of various sandwiches that they make they don't skimp on the condiments or the main ingredients. The salmon which is hard to do was fresh and medium not well done or dry. The eggplant Parm was amazing. The Cuban delicious with fresh pulled pork and stiletto thin ham with an amazing bite made me want to speak a different language, and the Italian made both of us speak in Italian because my beloved speaks fluent Italian and I am part Sicilian. This place is truly a cut above. If you want a sandwich that is truly a meal, this place really doesn't disappoint. Will definitely be going there from time to time for something amazing.

I visited this establishment for this time this past Friday. I work nearby and I decided to get a…read moresandwich for lunch. I chose the Tuna Melt #2. It gets very busy here so I waited a little bit before my order was taken. But the sandwich was so delicious it was worth the wait. The sandwich had tuna salad, avocado, onion, cheese, lettuce and tomato. It was well prepared and flavorful. I'll definitely return to try other options on the menu.

Had the woman working been at all pleasant and/or clear about needing the tables, I would have been a repeat customer.

Everything I've eaten has been excellent. They are very friendly and fast and efficient with getting your order and getting you the right food. Their memories are pretty amazing.

I took a picture of some of the menus (see photos). We did not get one but look at the photo of the crab cakes. Those things are huge and $5.99. If you look closely at the photo, you can see how the breading is peeling in one location and it is not heavily breaded! We got the grilled cheese, spicy nacho grilled cheese, and All American sandwich (see photos). The food is all really good and freshly prepared. Coffee was good also. Good option for quick bite.

I'm officially breaking up with Westside Market. After being a long-standing customer for years I…read morehave experienced too many disappointments and will be moving on to Whole Foods with a Prime membership. I was willing to look past the many expired fish incidents and the one food poisoning incident. (I will never again touch even a bite of tuna salad) I have no idea why, maybe because of my crazy dedication to loyalty. However, as a budding social working paying rent on the upper west side and working in a clinic, my budget is tight. I realize that after a year shopping at this location I am no longer able to afford to feed myself for even a week. I can get more of a bang for my buck elsewhere, and buy things that I really enjoy too. This doesn't mean that I will no longer come see my favorite people at the other location on 96th street for the world's best salads, I just won't be coming here. I'm not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but really needed to get this off of my chest. I wish things could be different and I wish this location the best but for now, I'll be going somewhere else.

It arrived fast and fresh. The reasonably priced Reuben sandwich hit the spot. If in the neighborhood, I might grab another Reuben!

Added to that, I ordered their Philly Cheesesteak, which comes with onions and peppers, adding mushrooms and ketchup. Since they offer it as both on a roll or hero, I'd suggest the hero size is worth the extra $1.50. Having grown up in Philly, it was good but not great. You may find a better version elsewhere.

If anything, I feel like a two and a half stars would be appropriate. That being said, I think the negative reviews are due in part that Morton Williams is about as expensive as Whole Foods but way less selection than a Whole Foods or even a C-Town. But the prices and selection are what they are because of location. They are right by Columbia University. In terms of supermarkets in the neighborhood, it's on par with Apple Tree, which I would consider three stars but definitely not as good as Westside Market or H-Mart in terms of selection but that's the tradeoff for the proximity to campus. To be fair I haven't done a ton of shopping (I've mostly bought protein bars out of convenience) and personally if I lived there I would walk the extra 6 blocks to Westside Market for the fresher produce and better selection of goods. The times I've shopped there, I was processed fairly quickly.
