Diner is a restaurant known for its amazing culinary experience and warm, friendly service. The menu features a variety of dishes, from beet salad and country pâté to scrambled eggs and eggs with beans, all cooked to perfection. The pork, cheeseburger, and half chicken are standout entrées. For sides, try the polenta with wild mushrooms. The restaurant offers a constantly updated farm-to-table menu, with some core staples like the burger and Caesar salad. Because they source different local ingredients based on availability, the menu shifts frequently, but the staff always provides great recommendations and detailed menu explanations. The converted antique railcar diner adds a unique vibe, and it's easy to access from NYC by ferry or subway. Despite tight seating, the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it a popular spot for any meal. Recent reviews highlight delicious dishes like mussels with beans and a perfectly cooked rare steak, as well as excellent service and a good wine list.
The restaurant provides an elevated diner experience, with the best burger and fries and a Bloody Mary often praised by guests. The atmosphere is great for both brunch and dinner. The staff, especially the waiter Benjamin, creates a personal and special feeling, making each visit memorable. Diners can enjoy a variety of dishes, including crudo, which is fresh and paired with an insane garlicky dip, and a robust Caesar salad with perfect anchovy dressing. The brick chicken is a showstopper, crispy and flavorful, cooked with skill. Dessert options like ice cream, especially the Wendy’s Ice Cream Sundae with chocolate, cherries, and Bordeaux, are decadent and nostalgic, leaving guests drooling. Overall, Diner offers a dining experience that is both elevated and full of character, thanks to excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The kitchen cooks dishes that taste homemade but better, and the staff maintains exceptional standards. Many visitors plan to return soon, impressed by the memorable meals and welcoming environment.
