We've been away for three months and decided to try Fenney Grill for lunch yesterday on our first day back. At 1 PM there was a 20 minute wait for a table, so we ate lunch at the bar. The Boulevard IPA was very good. Service was fine. However we were disappointed with lunch. Wife had the corned beef sandwich and I had pastrami. The meat on both sandwiches was ice cold, just out of the fridge. What made it worse, the corned beef was unusually fatty. The fries and cavatappi macaroni salad sides were fine.
I realize that Fenney Grill has only been open 3 weeks but common sense should tell them that you can't take either of these two particular meats directly from the fridge, slap it between two slices of bread, and expect it to taste delicious!
We weren't expecting NYC deli or even Toojays deli, but this was sufficiently disappointing that we have no plans to try Fenney Grill again any time soon. Looking forward to Metro Diner opening in the fall.
