For us east coasters missing good Jewish delis, Gilbert's isn't quite it but it comes as close as anything on the Eastside! Most food items run anywhere from acceptable to excellent. I find the sourdough bread to be somewhat uneventful, but putting their hot pastrami on it MORE than makes up for whatever it lacks! The also have EXCELLENT pasta salads! Two major knocks against a place that would otherwise be a real find: the service can be QUITE slow and the prices are a bit steep for the lunch crowd. Still, it's hard to argue on the price once you see how much meat has been piled onto your sandwich! For the price conscious (and those not looking to be overstuffed), order the half sandwich!
Pros: Pastrami, Pasta Salads, Food Quantity
Cons: Slow Service, Price, Parking
