The diner was very cute. The desserts were delicious. The food was just fine. Our server was not very friendly. The back of the staff's shirt said "Where everyone knows your name." We definitely did not get that vibe from the staff. Overall, the experience was good, we were just expecting it to be more charming. We would go back for the pie and ice cream!

Such a cute Christmas bar in Hotel Fraye! George was wonderfully attentive to our party of 10 doing a My Favorite Things gift exchange. Espresso martinis were a huge hit in our group!
