When you first arrive: The inside of the restaurant is spacious and could easily accommodate smaller parties of 4 (or less). They have a lot of local art throughout the back of the restaurant. It really adds character to the restaurant. The few times I visited they were playing a lot of 2000s music which made the visit even more fun. Service: The few times I visited the staff was extremely friendly. They had no problem customizing one of the popular sandwiches to include an additional ingredient. Food: The sandwich was jam packed with deli meat. I could barely finish the sandwich because it was so think. The ingredients tasted fresh. I was easily able to get two meals from my order. I also was able to split a lox bagel with my husband in a later visit. It was jam packed with salmon so I wasn't left hungry after just half a sandwich. The lox bagel was flavorful and tasted fresh. Overall: I enjoyed my visit to L'Chayim Delicatessen especially for breakfast. The food is simple and tastes fresh. I could easily see myself visiting again in the future.

This is still a favorite morning spot for coffee and a bagel with lox. Great food, friendly staff,…read moreand a laid-back atmosphere.

We ordered the walleye and lake perch, they were both so yummy! I normally don't like eating seafood, but they both tasted mild and didn't have a strong fish flavor.

There's no indoor seating, but there's tables and chairs outside for those who want to eat there! Also, the kitchen is closed on Wednesday's!

When asked if we'd like a high chair and we said yes, they sprayed and wiped down a highchair that was in PRISTINE condition.

These two small things made it a good time with a toddler and I'd recommend it to parents of young kids on vacation. Plus the Hugo spritz was delicious.

It appeared to be a sports bar and restaurant from how it was decorated and the TV sets playing Tennis. Our server seated us, quickly took our drink order and got our breakfast menus. I ordered the Two Egg breakfast (eggs over easy, Sourdough toast) and my wife got the Big Breakfast, (eggs medium) which she wanted for the pancakes. The meals took a while even though the place wasn't busy. We soon found out the eggs had been switched. Her's were easy over and mine were medium. So we switched the eggs. My easy over eggs were not fully cooked before they were flipped. My wife's medium eggs were cooked perfectly. However neither egg dish was salted or peppered while being cooked. The pancakes were perfect however. Light, fluffy, and delicious!' She shares one with me and I agreed, delicious, light and fluffy. Her hash browns were not cooked except on the surface. Mine were cooked nicely. However again the hash browns were not salted or peppered during cooking as far as I could tell. All and all the food was good for a breakfast place and the serving sizes were adequate for what we ordered.

Unfortunately it's under new ownership now and they've ruined the place. The lighting is now harsh, the food quality just isn't there anymore and the service is rushed.
