Got raked over the coals here on the Valentine’s Day prix fixe. $108 per head for two tiny apps, the tiniest lobster entree (ate in 5 bites) and a mediocre chocolate cake to share. Served to us by a waitress who seemed to resent the fact she had to serve us. I guess that’s what I get for booking somewhere on Valentine’s Day. Jeez louise.

Chicken was really salty and not tasty at all!!! It costed 44 dollars for a very low quality plate. Ambience was nice. Over, over rated!

Vibe is cute but the food is way too salty. Portions are also on the small side

Great restaurant with a good drinks selection and great food. Especially nice for people who appreciate a good kitchen and special tastes. The food was very fresh and original, there were pescetarian, vegetarian and gluten free options (although less options for vegetarians). There were quite some fish options and some meat options - nothing really for vegans. I am coeliac and I told them about it - the waiter was very knowledgeable and clear about what had gluten (and even where there was cross contamination from the fryer and white soy sauce they use in some dishes). They don’t have any gf bread but I had a great experience and ate very well. They had a flourless cake which was awesome and I could eat for deser to highty, highly reccomend overall! It is on the pricier side but defo recoomend and worth it!! Definitely get a reservation.

Elevated diner experience. And best burger and fries, and Bloody Mary, ever. It’s become a monthly ritual of mine. Great atmosphere for brunch as well as for dinner.

One of the most memorable dinners I have had in Williamsburg, thanks to both the food and the incredible service. Our waiter Benjamin set the tone right away. He came to the table, unrolled white paper, and literally wrote out the menu for us, walking us through every dish with so much detail and enthusiasm. It felt personal, special, and set the stage for the meal to come.

We started with the crudo, which was absolutely out of this world. Fresh, bright, and paired with the most insane garlicky dip in a little ramekin that we shamelessly saved to dunk bread into after. Next up, the Caesar salad. They called it “robust” and they were not lying. As a Caesar purist, I can confidently say the anchovy dressing was perfection.

The sweet corn risotto was probably my least favorite. I expected it to be a little “cornier” (ha) and thicker in texture, but everything else more than made up for it. The brick chicken was a showstopper. However they flatten and crisp that bird, they brick the hell out of it and lock in every bit of flavor into the skin. Absolutely unreal.

And dessert. I did not know ice cream could be this sinful. The Wendy’s Ice Cream Sundae was unreal. Chocolate, cherries, bordeaux. It was decadent, nostalgic, and had me literally drooling at the table.

If you want a dining experience that is both elevated and full of character, Diner is it. Benjamin made the night, the food blew us away, and I am already planning my return.

The kitchen here cooks dishes that taste homemade but better. Their staff delivers exceptional standards. This restaurant won my wholehearted endorsement. This restaurant amazed in every way. We'll probably stop by again very soon.

Always a 10/10 meal for us, and our favorite local restaurant. Can’t go wrong with the burger, but they always have amazing seasonal dishes.

Loved Diner! The old school diner setting is so cool - down to the miniature bathroom and the slanted ceiling. Cocktails were on point, food was delicious, and service friendly. Def recommend!

Total blast from the past. Old-school booths, a little rough around the edges in the best way possible. Sad to see it moving, but happy it’s going to live on in films.
