– Good wait service
– No wait but place was busy
– Food slightly slow but nothing remarkable
– I liked the free spanokopita–maybe it’s bland but I like it that way
– Cole slaw tasty–some zest but not too much
– Chocolate milkshake good
– Dinner rolls good
– Onion rings reportedly good
– Ditto for kids spagetti with butter only
– BLT good except the bacon is an extremely salty variety
– Baklava perhaps a little bland
– French fries were fine according to kids, but not the style that I prefer, too salty and seasoned
– Greek potatoes ARE extremely vinegary but I kind of liked them anyway–one child who can eat anything said “TART!!!”
– Cookies still big and bland
– Same child who can eat anything did not like the chicken fingers–very strange

At this point, after three visits, my judgment is:
– Diner fills a niche evidently
– You have to find your favorite items and stick to them
– For me, some of the food is too salty and over-seasoned
– Desserts are prettier than they are tasty
– Expect quantity
– The otherwise pleasant outdoor ambience is ruined by the ubiquitous staff smoking around the doors and patio area

I need to try breakfast items and specialty coffees soon to round out my view.

Let’s not hold the diner to a higher standard than our other establishments. Ever seen the back door of Twain’s? Almost always a server or cook smoking. Leon’s? Same thing….usually outside of the side door on Church Street. I suppose it is easier to tell that the smoker is a diner emplyee because of the uniform, but they are NOT doing anything that the workers in our other food establishments are not already doing.

If they’re smoking on duty, the health deportment would be interested also.
