City Diner was on our list of new local joints to check out, and we decided to stop in tonight for dinner. A bit different than what I expected, in a good way.
They have a pretty eclectic menu in my opinion compared to the standard diner fare. It is a little over priced for the neighborhood.
I ordered the chicken, bacon & avocado sandwich and my husband the mac and cheese bake with a side of chicken noodle. Soup was maybe a degree above room temperature but really good. Mac and cheese was very bland, but to be fair I think most mac that's been baked is. The chicken sandwich was really good, particularly enjoyed the garlic mayo. There's quite a few things on the menu that I'm excited about trying in the future.
Service was great; friendly. It was pretty full when we were there, but our waitress was attentive and the service was quick.
The whole tablet ordering system is a little awkward. It personally doesn't bother me, but the booth in front of us with an older couple was clearly frustrated about it. I feel it must be uncomfortable for the waitstaff to have to ask every one of their tables about their tip during checkout, too.
Overall, a good experience, a welcome addition to the neighborhood and will definitely be a repeat customer.
