When I was in High School, the Dairy Lane was a run down diner with the best milkshakes in Calgary (bar-none) and a five minute walk from the school. At any given point in the day it wasn't unusual to see sullen teenagers waiting in line for diner food and the always good milkshakes, and best of all, it was cheap!
Nearish to my last year, they closed down for renovations. It opened up again and it was beautiful on the inside (I didn't know it COULD be clean!!) but I can't forget what it used to be. How beautiful it used to be. I get seriously distracted by nostalgia everytime I go back. So I'm biased. I want to give it three stars. I want it to go BACK.
That said, I like breakfast (+1/2 star) and I feel sustainability is the wa of the future (+1/2 star). It looks nice inside. The milkshakes are ok. I'm bitter, can't you tell?
