One day I decided to make a twist and took the ferry to cross the harbor, and to grab some quick lunch before catching the ferry. Kaiser's Deli is on the lower deck so it's not hard to recognize. Little Meg in the 1st review has already given a good account on Kaiser rolls so I'm not gonna repeat here. The menu is not extensive but encompasses a good range of fillings from meat to fish to veggies. Every weekday there's a kind of sandwich on special offer sold at some 20+ dollars, but that partic
Little Meg in the 1st review has already given a good account on Kaiser rolls so I'm not gonna repeat here. The menu is not extensive but encompasses a good range of fillings from meat to fish to veggies. Every weekday there's a kind of sandwich on special offer sold at some 20+ dollars, but that particular sandwich on the day I visited didn't appeal to me to much, so instead I picked a Smoked Salmon Kaiser Roll ($45) on a Poppyseed Kaiser Roll.
Kaiser's Deli is a takeout shop, and you can see the every step of your sandwich being made through the glass storefront. You need some patience as your bun is being toasted, fillings put in and dressings added on. It's then nicely tucked inside a brown bag and you can't wait to take it up to the pier to enjoy it!
As for my Kaiser roll, it looked quite substantial. The fillings included smoked salmon, capers and guacamole [a avocado-based dip originating from Mexico]. The dressing I chose was Honey & Mustard (many of the reviewers made this choice too) but anyway I picked it from experience at the time, and in fact it matched quite well with the salmon and the rest of the fillings. Like most other sandwich shops you can pick your own veggie fillings, and I stuck to my "a bit of everything" doctrine, and included my favorite olives. In general the sandwich was tasty, but I would have liked it better if the Kaiser roll had been crispier by toasting and not microwaving.
A good pick if you're around to take the ferry, if you don't mind paying IFC prices!
