| - A major disappointment, overall.
I'm from the north, and we love diners, so I was excited. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed.
The first 2 times I went there, I had appetizers because I wasn't very hungry. They were both pretty bad. Still, when invited to join some friends for lunch, I accepted, hoping that maybe I'd find something yummy if I order an actual meal. Again, I was disappointed. I ordered a chicken gyro. The chicken was tasteless (except for being overly salty) and very tough. It was an extremely small portion too. I'm glad it came with fries, although they were cold and very greasy, even for fries. We were a party of 9, and no one liked their food at all, except for a 14-year-old, who ordered the chicken parmesean. Even she admitted she's had better. One guy at the table ordered a burger, and asked me to try it because he couldn't believe how awful it was. I must admit, it was without a doubt the absolute worst burger I've ever had, hands down. The meat was extremely hard and dry. It was really inedible. He was hungry, so he ate about 1/2 of it and left the rest.
Also, for a diner, it's pretty expensive.
I think the place is very attractive and comfortable, strictly from the standpoint of aesthetics. Unfortunately, I'd rather have great food in a 'hole-in-the-wall' type of diner. I don't go to a diner for the ambience. I go for good, old-fashioned diner food. It is not hard to make good food diner style. I really hope they can step up in the future.
Maybe their breakfast food is good. The only way I'd try them again is if I'm in the mood for breakfast. I'm always looking for a good place for a lazy Saturday morning breakfast.
