Diner Antonette Reviews
Came here on a Saturday night to have some food and drinks with friends. They don't make reservations, instead, they put your name on the list so you still have to wait for a table. We only had to wait 20-25 minutes for a table on a busy Saturday night.
The service was great, as it didn't take too long for the waitress to notice us and get our drinks order.

Diner Antonette is a great, fun, delicious new find, offering a fabulous balance of Americana fare with a worldly twist. It boasts one of the best happy hours in town with generous and great hours, featuring 50% off drinks and select appetizers like Deviled Eggs or Pizza. Diners can enjoy a cool, hip, vintage vibe reminiscent of the former Ingo's Tasty Diner, with a moody, artsy ambience and a nice patio for dining.
The food receives high praise, with dishes like the Scotch Salmon, Meatballs and hand-rolled pasta, trufie pesto pasta, burger, and Brussels sprouts described as out of this world and incredibly tasty. The Bangalore Chicken, with its herby, spicy breading, and Margherita Pizza are also highlighted. Appetizers such as the beet and fig salad are beautiful and tasty. Desserts are a strong finish, with the hot fudge sundae being a standout, described as the best ever had, perfectly balanced with candied pralines and generous vanilla gelato. Pistachio gelato and Sundae were also loved.
Service is consistently excellent, delightful, cheerful, polite, and attentive, with staff being accommodating and kind. While some noted it took a long time for plates to be removed, overall the service is a significant positive. Kids are welcomed with accommodating hosts and a full crayon set, and a $5 kids menu offers adult-sized portions like a cheeseburger and fries. Diner Antonette has quickly become a favorite spot, promising an American take on a French cafe and delivering strongly.
