The Scene – From outside, this eatery looks like a traditional Middle American coffee shop, complete with aluminum siding. The interior, however, is luxe, with a spotless cream-and-dark-wood dining room that has a trim, yacht-like feel, and a sparkling art-deco bar. The crowd spans all ages, from lunching businesspeople to tourists. – – The Food – A list of refined and reworked diner favorites are the hallmark of the all-American menu. Chicken hash is updated with lobster and fresh corn; chili is made with chunks of high-quality steak. Even french fries approach the…

peanut butter cups are delicious

by LaceyM at Citysearch

My favs of the night- cheddar biscuits are rich, soft and buttery but, the real deal is dessert. Peanut butter cups and apple crisp I will go back for.

The real San Francisco treat!

by Jelsanna at Citysearch

This has got to be one of my favorite restaurants in the city. It's a real San Francisco treat when you dine here. Their service is excellent. Their staff is attentive and accommodating. Their food is great. I recommend their Chicken Schnitzel. It's rather Americanized, but still wonderful. Looking that the restaurant from the outside, it simply looks like a mere humble All-American diner. But once you step into the restaurant, you'll be surprised at the interior design. This place is truly a must see and must taste. One disappointment that I have is that they stopped making their creme brulee. That's a shame because it's the best creme brulee I've ever had, and I've had plenty of creme brulee's in my life time.

  • Pros: Ambience. Food. Service.
  • Cons: Not great for groups more than 10. No more creme brulee.

not really a diner, small portions, big prices, snooty people

by daquietmofo at Citysearch

i guess it was my fault i thought diner actually meant diner, the kind of place that serves homecooked-style comfort food. oh well. money isnt really an issue unless the food is not filling. and this place definitely was not filling. the sandwiches were miniature sized... like something from costco in the sampler platter. not very tasteful either. looked good... very presentable, but bland on the tastebuds. the best part was my meal were the fries. how sad is that?? oh well... wont be back here again.... unless i wanna see snooty people sit around acting rich/fake and pretending that the food is great.

inconsistent service leaves a bad taste in the mouth......

by lunatig at Citysearch

If you are are a local to the Bay Area, I would say check this place out just to get it out of your system. It's fun. I've been coming here for years now and the food is really good. My only complaint is the service is very inconsistent. My last visit here I got a a stiff treatment from the bartender that made my wine taste sour. I mentioned to the bartender that I was interested in trying out one of their pinot noir, I had never had it and wanted to give it a try. He then pours me a glass. I took a couple of sips and realized it wasn't for me and I told him I wanted something else instead. He looks at me tells me very coldly that I should've asked for a taste so that he wouldn't have poured me a glass. I was taken aback by this. Needless to say this was not the first time I had gotten less than professional treatment here from the staff. The food is good here, but the service is not as. With all of the great choices here in the city I would suggest something else rather than this place unless you don't mind not so good service to go w/ your good but not "great" food.
