| - I've been to a lot of diners that I would put in the same category as this one. About 30, in fact (see list below). I don't mind greasy spoons...in fact, I seek them out (see list below). Keeping that in mind, there was something about the vibe of this place that I didn't like. It just didn't feel like entering a restaurant. It seemed more like some other kind of space...with tables.
That said, the food, for the most part, was perfectly fine. Up front I'll say that there were 6 of us. (A 7th came 40 minutes later, but I won't figure her service into this review.) The service and prep time was their major weakness. It was slow. Without getting into details (and I have them...I made notes), my eggs, home fries etc., came 7 minutes after my toast. The waitresses (accurately described by others), did a good job keeping our coffees filled, but otherwise seemed reluctant to take our orders. OK, one detail - our food, or rather the toast, came 25 minutes after we ordered.
I believe this only the third of 40 breakfast places I've reviewed to which I wouldn't return.
