I was visiting the area, looking for an old-fashioned kind of diner to take my grown-up daughters to. I had searched the Yelp reviews in the area but found that most were Greek, Italian, Asian, Portuguese and even a restaurant to satisfy someone with a Chef's palate. What I was seeking was a "Greasy Spoon Diner" and that is exactly what I got! (Minus the grease)!
Unfortunately, this diner was exactly what droves of other patrons were seeking also as the decibels of voices made it difficult for us to communicate without raising our own voices to communicate with each other.
But the food and service was was exactly what we wanted! I ordered the calves liver with bacon and Onions and it was the best I'd ever had! It's hard to find a place that serves such good quality of liver anywhere these days! My daughters had the traditional eggs/ crispy great quality bacon/ peamealed back bacon, eggs cooked to perfection.
It was a very hot and humid day and the front door stayed open. At first I was wary that it might be too hot and stuffy inside but the fans kept the air circulating and we felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We found that if we just "leaned in" and spoke to each other, the booths sheltered our conversations.
I took note that all of the patrons enjoyed themselves immensely and went away making note to myself to come back again in the near future.
