I went with friends and we really wanted to like this new Diner. It offers breakfast and lunch and is in a residential neighborhood on the near east side of Madison. It is freshly renovated and is extremely inviting. The owner and staff are friendly and very helpful. We felt like guests in their home. But, unfortunately, the food did not live up to the experience. We had gone for lunch and I ordered a tuna melt sandwich on whole wheat with a side of hash browns. From the looks of my dining companions plates, mine was the best at the table. My wife ordered the veggie burger which looked like a half inch thick hockey puck and she claimed it probably tasted similar. One of my other dining companions ordered a sandwich and the bread was toasted to nearly burnt. The other dining companion ordered a meatloaf sandwich and the dryness of the meatloaf equals the previously burnt toast. Unfortunately, there was nothing special about our lunch. The final bill was 40 bucks for the four of us and I will give them Kudos on service and friendliness. But I think that any novice would be able to do a slightly better job for our lunch. I really wanted to like this place.
