W&G Diner stages a full-scale sensory event. The truffle-infused risotto hit every note while the sommelier paired a drink worthy of a standing ovation. Our server anticipated every need, refilled drinks without asking, and even made playful quips. Every bite was carefully choreographed and unforgettable. I left with a full stomach and a happy heart.

Everything about this place is great. The folks who own it are kind and attentive, all the staff were 100% on the ball. The food came out hot, fresh, and correct. They made REAL Crispy hash browns.

Don't miss this one, it's a legit family diner where they know how to cook.
