Not impressed. Waited for their Reuben sandwich for 20 minutes, to go. Not many folks in the place at 2pm. Pastrami was too thick, sandwich was just bland. Very expensive, $13.50. I have been tasting Rueben's around the Portland area for about a year now, and this Reuben rated at the very bottom. Even Arby's has them beat, in taste and price. A huge disappointment. Don't waste your or money time if you are looking for a good sandwich.
Also, while waiting for my sandwich, a server opened a large jar of pineapple soaking in some type of liquid and reached right in with his fingers, placed the fruit on a skewer and served it in a cocktail. He did the exact same thing with another jar of something, I was unable to distinguish what the second item was. Even if he had just washed his hands I can't believe this would be an accepted practice in the food industry. Truly disturbing to watch. Are they not making enough money off of their outrageously priced sandwiches to a buy few pairs of tongs for retrieving ingredients from liquid filled jars? Overall the restaurant was dirty.
