What User doesn't like about Schlesinger's:
Food was ok. A bit salty for my taste. My biggest concern was that they have a menu posted outside which was what led me in. They then presented a post-covid menu with inflated prices and a much smaller selection. Their pickle bar is also no more. View all feedback. What User likes about Schlesinger's:
Dining here is fantastic! I'm a big fan of the Dorchester wrap; the turkey is incredibly tasty. The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and it's always a great choice for a meal. View all feedback.
