Brussels sprouts and beets were good. We discovered a new extra charge on the bill I'd never heard of, the kitchen fee, to tip food prep people, aside from waiter tip. Despite asking the waitress (after thoroughly hashing it out with her) not to call the manager over, he arrived and charmingly engaged in another fifteen minute discussion about it. By then I had to head back home, cutting my evening with an old friend short. It seemed the owners couldn't add that fee themselves, to ensure kitchen staff were adequately compensated for their work. Otherwise, tasty food. Now for the long drive home.
This place is exceptional. Don't let the word Diner fool you. This is a very high end craft cocktail bar and restaurant. They are creative, tasty, with drink choices to fit any mood.
The food is very well done. Farm to Table. One suggestion is to order one plate at a time for a party of two...and just share until you are full. The brussel spots were tasty, but the mussels were outstanding.
Kudos to Andy for making our stop at the Diner one worth remembering. Well done.
Food is pretty good but a little overprized. The few times I have been they've messed up our order in some way but they were super professional on how they handled it. I would give them 5 stars for that alone but I always feel like something isn't quite 5 star experience with them. That said, nice atmosphere with live music for Sunday brunch and some cool brunch menu items. Also fun happy hour atmosphere.
Has been very pleasant. This was my second visit both times I have been impressed both with the food and the quality of the service. The ambient is very refined and on some days they have live jazz music. I have had one of their burgers and the French dip sandwich roast beef to be exact. Super fantastic delicious!!! Can't wait to go back you should try it if you haven't. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
