Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    Miltons has very good food and excellent service. It is a bit pricy for us as we live off small retirements. The noise level can be high at lunch time. Overall a good place to go.

    This is one of the only delicatessens in San Diego county. Therefore, it is a go-to for that style of food and diner ambiance. The service was excellent: attentive, accurate, friendly. The food was good, perhaps a little uninspired. The maitre d', as always, is colorful & efficient. The prices are a little high, I suppose. Parking was difficult because it is situated in a busy shopping center. We enjoyed our time & the setting. We shall return!

    Noise level was high making it difficult to converse. Food was hot and tasty. Server stopped by our table once to ask how the food was, but never returned to refill our water and tea.

    We all loved the restaurant. I had the matzo ball soup and 1/2 corned beef. Both excellent. As good as my childhood home, Chicago. I had two vegetarian guests dining with me. They were impressed with the Vegetarian Menu and the quality of the food. Bakery was marvelous. Had to have the rugelach! Wonderful! Took croissants to hotel for later. Carson, server, nice young man.

    Just too loud, but don't know what they can do about it. Very hard to talk to anyone.

    My tuna melt was sloppy- things sliding all around, and looked nothing like the photo on the website- very little tuna piled up on the sandwich- I asked for a slice of onion- and because the sandwich was open face and cut in quarters, a very sparse slice of onion was pulled apart and flung on each quarter, hanging off the edge of the sandwich- as I said, this was a very sloppy job of sandwich making. A very slight tomato slice appeared on two of the four quarters- a very uneven experience. All together a poor result. Luckily my husband’s pastrami sandwich looked better, and he liked his chicken matzoh ball soup. The waiter was nice and helpful and responsive. A very uneven experience, and sad, because it’s not like they were busy and had to rush to make a skimpy, sloppy sandwich.
