| - Came here the other day because it was close-ish to my work, and took a friend.
The aesthetic of the place is very unique - a sort of early 2000s look that I'm surprised to see as a deliberate choice, given that it looks a bit like a seedy nightclub from 15 years ago. The inside was dark, purple, and incredibly loud, so we chose to sit outside. The weather was nice, and it was a much better dining/talking experience.
The menu was impressive, large, and full of creative dishes, but it was also surprisingly expensive - even the most standard burger cost $17, which I don't really feel was warranted by either the decor or the quality.
Don't get me wrong, the food was excellent - I had the Korean fried chicken sandwich, for $20 - but it really gouged out a hole in my pocket that I wasn't expecting from a place that has "diner" in its name.
I'm giving this place 4 stars because the food really is very good, but I just don't think it merits being as expensive as fancy dining.
