Tasty Food, Great View, Nice Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The food was tasty and there were a lot of good food & beverage options. I particularly enjoyed the toasted sandwiches 🥪. The atmosphere was quaint and not crowded, offering a nice view to enjoy my meal. The service was excellent, and the parking was plentiful with a free lot. The price per person was reasonable for the quality and experience.

Delicious Sandwiches and Bibimbap!
My experience at this deli was very positive. The sandwiches were delicious, and the Korean bibimbap was good. I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere was very friendly, and although it was small, it had lots of things. The service was excellent, with no wait time, and the food received a perfect score. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

Friendly Spot with Great Sandwiches and Wine
My experience at this store has been consistently positive. As I have a boat across the road in the marina, it's become my go-to spot. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the sandwiches are delicious. They also have a well-stocked selection of beer and a surprisingly fine affordable selection of wines.

Limited Options, Worth the Trip
My experience at this restaurant was marked by limited options and a menu that listed items not actually available. The food quality, rated as 'okay, ' seemed to reflect these issues. Despite not having much around, it was worth going further for the experience.

Delightful Deli with Amazing Owners
This is such a nice little deli and store. The owners are the nicest, sweetest people. I went in at 9: 00pm and they greeted me right away with hellos and smiles. I ordered a Caprese sandwich, and the owner suggested it’s delicious on sourdough, so that’s what I got. It was grilled and warmed throughout, and it was delicious. While they were making the sandwich, I did a little shopping. They have quite a lot of variety for a small store, offering food items plus soaps, cleaning products, paper products, etc. I was very impressed and now I don’t have to make a special trip to a large drug store or grocery store for many common items.

Great Service and Variety
My experience at this restaurant was great. The people running the store were very welcoming. It's a convenience store that offers made-to-order sandwiches and bowls. I found a good variety of snacks, drinks, and even some household staples. The place was clean and efficient.

Friendly Service and Great Washington Wrecker
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The establishment is tidy and well-organized. I was particularly impressed by the super friendly girl working there. The Washington Wrecker Sandwich was also really good.

A true neighborhood gem!
I've lived in the One Lakefront building for four years, and this store is the best one in the area. My wife and I affectionately call it "the little one. " It's incredibly convenient for those moments when you forget an item from your grocery list at a bigger store – no worries, you can buy it at the little one. Ran out of hot sauce for taco night? Buy it at the little one. Need a lighter for a rooftop grill party? You get it, the little one has your back. The sandwich/deli section is another highlight. Oh my goodness, the sandwiches are just amazing! They are made with love, and each one uses the highest quality ingredients. I highly recommend the Seattle Reuben on ciabatta bread, toasted, of course. While my favorite Philly Cheesesteak has been discontinued, I absolutely loved it. I used to buy it so often that every staff member knew my order when I came in. Honestly, I have never had a better Philly Cheesesteak than the ones I had here.
