    The restaurant was completely empty when I arrived at 6:30pm. I went upstairs to the bar area and it was desolate as well. However, Will, the bartender, was absolutely fabulous. He said the pancakes were divine and he did not lie!! The eggs tasted weird and the bacon was just okay. But, I would definitely go back again!

    Good, reliable diner food in a convenient location, but atrocious service: waiter had to be reminded repeatedly of reasonable requests, was nowhere to be seen for extended stretches, then we had to threaten to walk out in order to get our bill. Good to excellent service on previous visits... we expect our 7/15 waiter won't be around much longer!

    Neighborhood food establishment. Not like the northeast diners. Ordered: onion rings with ranch sauce - great; poutine - not like the Canadian version, French fries with fried cheese curds and brown gravy. I prefer the Canadian version of tater tots with brown gravy and fresh cheese curds melted on top.

    Our waiter was slow to bring drinks and in fact we had to ask twice for them to be delivered. We ordered eggs and twice they were not cooked correctly, we ordered sunny side up and got scrambled then when he brought the new eggs they were over easy. The e shake we ordered was not made with the ingredients we asked for. Lunch for 4 people was over $100

    Very disappointed. “Homemade” tuna melt was highlighted on the menu. Dark chunk tuna (was hoping for white albacore), strong pungent smell and bad tasting. I won’t be returning.

    Unfortunately the Diner fell short of our expectations. Three years f us ordered grilled cheese which was basically a cheese sandwich with three slices of bread. The goal of “grilling” the cheese is to melt it. That did not happen and they were a giant disappointment.

    Great breakfast. Very busy, service was a bit slow due to that but our server was still accommodating and friendly and took care of us. Love this place!
