Upon consideration, the name of this restaurant is very fitting. The pastry counter in front reminds you of a diner. The vaulted ceilings, dark wood furnishings and crisply uniformed staff contrast with the menu which is just bread and butter cafe food. The signs outside the casino used to advertise a $3.99 breakfast, but they stopped offering it the month before we visited at the end of June according to our waiter. Without the shelter of a special, the prices are a little high for the caliber of meals served here ($10 - 11 per dish without including tip). $10.49 for the shrimp cocktail.... whuuuuut???
My family tried the burgers with and without fries, belgian waffle with eggs and bacon and I had the Mediterranean frittata with a dry whole wheat English muffin. The staff were very polite and brought our orders out in short time, but nothing about the frittata thrilled me. They bake it in a small skillet and serve feta, spinach and tomato slices on top with a scattering of some bitter tasting sprouts and an overly honeyed muffin. If they hadn't fixed on coming here I would have preferred the food court or some tortellini en brodo from Terra Rossa. It also pays to check the tab when you get it. We got charged for some sliders we never ordered and my aunt, while she found the total on the high side, didn't notice the mistake until she happened to glance at it after her visit. Summary: Grand ambience, grand prices for pedestrian quality food.
