Lovely little diner with excellent service, very clean. Basic diner food, good food but with very high prices. And unfortunately they’ve recently changed the the great grilled chicken in their salads to gross premade packaged chicken which my whole family noticed right away. It’s very disappointing especially when the salads are $20 each. We would make the sacrifice because it used to be so good, but no longer. Now they’re just regular salads at a ridiculous price. We won’t be making our way here anymore sadly. Shame

New to the neighborhood, I was attracted to the “family restaurant” slogan when I was passing by, and decide to give a try. Apart pastrami taste bit sour, everything else is what you’d expect from a Diner. My waitress was kind enough to remove the pastrami from my check, but that’s the good part ends. First, when I told my waitress the pastrami is sour, she explained this is fresh from this morning, which is understandable explanation. She then added “it’s what pastrami smells like”, that’s really annoyed me. Maybe it’s my oriental face hide the fact that I am an regular pastrami eater, or maybe the KATZ’s Deli in city did a horrible job for their pastrami, so I couldn’t judge this “traditional pastrami” correctly. Hey, I might be wrong. After all, we are not here to have michelin star dinner, we are here because it’s lovely warm neighborhood diner restaurant. Or is it? I guess my dinner timing was bad, every staff was either eating their dinner, or counting down the minutes for the closing time, not single person bothered to refill my water(I was having 6+ staff around me). Perhaps since I’m alone, my check won’t generate good tips. I am feeling invisibly in this restaurant, and basically I feel like I am in a emotionless fast food store, chain restaurant, IHOP or McDonald, anything but a “family restaurant”. I was so bored, I start to watching my phone, just to see how soon anyone could ask me if I need help or check, finally I got my check after 20 mins of wondering around, I put my credit card on the check, 10 mins later, nobody picks it up. I was bit frustrating, I was about to call my waitress, then I saw the “self check out” option, I guess nobody bothered to explain that to me. So I paid by my phone, run out of this “warm neighborhood restaurant” as quick as I can. BTW, I gave 40% tips because I don’t want to own the restaurant any money for that sour pastrami, not because the “warmth family restaurant feeling” my waitress left to me.
