The Scene
The dark refurbished 1920s dining car hosts plenty of hipsters in carefully selected thrift-store clothing. They come for Caroline Fidanza's seasonally inspired daily specials and menu of bistro basics such as mussels, hanger steak and burgers. It's as much about the drinking as the eating, and eclectic locals crowd the bar stools while sipping classic cocktails, beer and champagne; tables along the windows accommodate small groups.

I usually try two times or three times a place before making conclusions, but unfortunately Diner fell down my expectations. The food was good, however service end up making the dining experience poor. Hopefully you may get a different waiter but the black curly hair waiter that served me that night was awful. He was rude, and not polite at all. Hope you guys get better servers...

I had mussels and fries here not too long ago - the mussels were maybe a 3 out of 10 for freshness and preparation, and the fries were cold and soggy. Seriously, it seemed like it was the first time the cook had ever attempted to fry potatoes. Very disappointing. The brunch menu is kind of limited and not terribly brunch-y. It's a cute spot though, and we've had a few good waitresses here.

When to Go:
Late hours mean that you can munch on specials like an excellent charcuterie plate or Diner's killer cheeseburger into the wee hours. By midnight, the place is usually packed.
Lunch:
The lunch menu has basics like a BLT, burger, and steak and eggs, but for something different, try the chocolate sandwich, a favorite after-school treat of French children.
