The corned beef was delivered in thick flavorful strips. There was a good mix of sauerkraut and dressing. I'm not sure the bread was rye because it didn't have any caraway taste to it. Overall it was a pretty good Reuben. The pickle spear that came with the sandwich was pretty nasty; the lemonade wasn't very sweet and almost tasted like straight lemon juice. The atmosphere of the restaurant was an upscale treatment of an old-style Denny's or Sambo's type of building. The wait staff wore bow ties and tuxedo shirts--they were definitely going for an upscale look.
