DGS Delicatessen – American
This modern homage to the classic Jewish deli invites guests into a bright, bustling space where the nostalgic scent of brine and wood-smoke lingers in the air. Hand-carved slabs of house-cured pastrami boast a peppery crust and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, while silky ribbons of applewood-smoked salmon pair perfectly with chewy bagels and velvety schmear. Every plate is anchored by the sharp, refreshing crunch of artisanal house pickles, rounding out a soulful dining experience that honors tradition with contemporary craft.
