I on the other had had a pretty solid experience there but it was after the lunch rush on a weekday so it was fairly quiet. I can tell there is still a learning curve there but they are almost at the diner deluxe standard I would expect.\n\nDiner Deluxe's concept is a stepped up version of home cooking and everything I had at the original and my meal here have been darn tasty. Unless your parents were chefs, chances are the food won't taste like home because they do rely on some very modern flavours but I do like that reinvented aspect of food when it's done well. The only major complaint about this place is things get quite fatty while they fancy up the homestyle favs and I can really feel that heaviness sitting in my stomach after I eat. The menu seems a bit different than I remember the Edmonton trail location but I haven't been there for a while but it seems like a bit of a new concept closely tied to the original.\n\nThis trip I had grilled cheese, tomatoe bisque and fries. Sandwich was on thick bread, the butter they use for grilling must be herb infused because it had a nice aroma to it. I should have paid attention to the cheese mixture because it was well through out and very good. The Bisque was alright, not as creamy as some which is a bit of a good thing when dealing with a rather fatty meal but it's not my favourite. The fries are well seasoned to the place ketchup is optional. \n\nI almost miss the store front, it's very plain but the inside was nicely done to the standard of the area. The new place is huge when you consider the downstairs and the huge patio. Hopefully that helps with some of the legendary lines of the original. We sat out on the patio and had quite a nice mix of sun and shade. I wished there was a better water view but I could hear the fountain and knew it was there at least.\n\nI would return - maybe for breakfast next time."^^ . . .
