"Classic delicatessen food is tailor-made for young palates, with matzo ball soup, cheese blintzes, and towering meat sandwiches set to comfort upon first taste. Established in 1986, Saul’s is a perfect specimen and feels older and more connected to its New York origins than a Berkeley restaurant that opened in the ’80s would seem. But it also evokes what’s special about the locale, highlighting local farms and purveyors on its expectedly sizable menu. You’ll have to steer your kids past the pastry case at the front to focus them on a meal first, but revisit it at the end so they can pick out a slice of cake, chocolate pudding, crumbly hamantashen, or a giant black-and-white cookie for dessert." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
