This past Thanksgiving I loaded my car with a small folding table, a folding chair, a tropical bouquet, a miniature bottle of chambord, and a carry out turkey dinner from Dianna's. I headed to Sunset Memorial Park where I poured the chambord on my partner's still too recent grave. I placed the flowers on his stone and set up the table and chair. This is not an attempt to be morose as I was exactly where I wanted to be eating a Thanksgiving dinner as good as was on any holiday table. Real roasted turkey with all the fixings.
Dianna's is open 24 hours a day and on holidays. It is my neighborhood go to place. I have been there with large groups, with just a few companions and by myself. No matter when or with whom it is welcoming. I have seen AA groups there after meetings, drag queens, grandmothers with their granddaughters, and all those who can be found in a city far more urbane than outsiders recognize.
Some things are good like the sandwiches or the rice pudding. Some things are very good like the daily specials serving soup, salad, main course and desert. Some things are not so good.
In reading the reviews for Dianna's I learned more about the writers than about the restaurant. As for me I will continue going there as will my friends.
