    It started when I pulled into their parking lot and the attendant pointed out people who were leaving. He was very welcoming and present. My server, Marianna was exceptional! She did everything possible to be welcoming and to make me feel special. The food was exceptional! Best Matzoh soup I’ve ever had and the Pastrami Dip was amazing too. The French Fries were crispy and hot. Make sure you stop on the way out to pick up some of their baked goods. They are awesome too! Can’t recommend Canter’s enough. They are my new go-to restaurant!

    Delicious classic deli food. Ambiance a little tired, and dim inside. Needs a refresh but food is worth it. Great bakery counter too; bought treats to take home. Worth the trip!

    We had a great meal and our waitress was the best! The restaurant needs a spring cleaning and sprucing up. But we always love visiting!!

    We share the three fish platter. It was delicious and we even had some left over to take home. David is a fantastic waiter. We request him every time!

    Decided to make a reservation for my husband’s birthday since we were a large party. When we checked in, they said it was going to be a while and we would have to wait as there were only 2 tables that would accommodate our group size and they were both in use. We ended up sitting 40 mins later. I wouldn’t mind waiting for a table but making a reservation was just pointless and I don’t know why they offer reservations if they don’t acknowledge them.
