We called the day ahead to pre-order for about 10 people. They weren’t sure if they were going to have a delivery person that day for us. So we ended up e-mailing our order to them and typed up the whole thing that day after we got off the phone. She called and confirmed the order and delivery soon after and said a delivery person would be available.
The last and only time we ordered from them was on April 16 to a fully favorable response. Many said it was the best yet at the time. It was also requested as a monthly reoccurrence lunch spot for delivery.
They have quite the nice website and menu. It also states, ‘Free delivery on orders over $75.’ We ended up having the subtotal to be just above that amount without tax and we got free delivery. The menu has a lot of celebrity names listed as the sandwich. Someone had the Michael York last time and the Liza Minnelli this time and was not disappointed. The serving size was more than generous. The taste was out of this world with real fresh meat, according to one of our 10 people who ordered it.
Today, our orders were delivered in the biggest single box yet. It was brought in by the most attractive delivery girl yet. One of us even walked by her when she came in the building and stood outside waiting for the delivery person to arrive as there was a disbelief that a delivery person could be that hot. However, the delivery person was hotter than the food. Each order was labeled with what the actual order was, but not by name. It came with ketchup and mustard packets as we like. However, one of us got the Blue Cheese burger and wanted mayo on it. When that person finished eating without the mayo on it, that person realized there was a small side cup of mayo underneath the wax paper. Also, for the first time, there was a small cup of jalapenos instead of being put on the sandwich. If you're not used to the sweet potato fries, don't get them. It’s either you’re a big fan of them or just don’t care for them. They were unsalted and not the same taste as regular because they were sweeter.
The only real complaint was that most of the food was at room temperature and not hot like King's Court was. Of course there's a difference between delivery and pickup though, but even for the food that was supposed to be hot in flavor wasn't. Still, we would welcome back Cabaret for our lunch needs in the future.

since when does the "hottness' of the delivery person get into a review. Don't lose your focus gentleman ! you didn't have a lot of comments about the food. what did you get ? was it good ? Ketchup and mustard are welcome, but not critical items, in my mind. Interested in your comments !
we are the downtown lunch guys. everything from finding the place to the ordering to delivery to the food are all fair game to be covered in the reviews. of course, food is the biggest part... this place still ranks up there. we're sure the atmosphere in the place is just fine too.
yeah well mayo and jalapeños its bs they put that stuff on the side because it makes it soggy, it's done that was a a courtesy to the customer. The delivery person was probably a waitress who did us a favor. You are entitled your own opinion but I disagree and I am allowed., I thought the food was much better than a 3.5
I have the same lunch time you do, but what the delivery girl looks like for real.. Also putting the names on things is a courtesy not a necessity.. I guess I'm partial because I have worked in the restaurant. But it's only delivery and they do a very good job.
