Piled-high sandwiches, gigantic desserts and singing waiters glamorize this souped-up deli in Opera Plaza.

In Short
This New York-inspired restaurant features singing waiters, many of whom are training for the stage at the nearby San Francisco Opera House. The fledgling vocalists lend a festive, entertaining air to the bustling dining room, which draws an eclectic assortment of out-of-towners and pre-theater diners. The straightforward deli menu features maximum portions--sandwiches stacked high with corned beef and pastrami, overflowing potted brisket of beef and big gooey desserts and sundaes.
