   Even though the place was nearly empty, the service was poor. Long waits just to be noticed by a server, all of whom walked across the length of the room and yet seemed to go out of their way to avoid making eye contact with any patrons. I was visibly not the only table seeking service. After nearly ten min wait for a Diet Coke, which was just sitting at the end of the bar in plain view of two employees, I had to go and ask for it, and brought it back to the table, myself.

   We dined here on Christmas Eve with six adults and one toddler. The restaurant was very welcoming and already had a high chair set up for us at our table when we arrived. They did not have a kids menu, but we ordered mac & cheese which they brought out ahead of the rest of the food. Everyone got a different entree, and everything was good especially the pasta dishes, tv dinner, and the Reuben sandwich. This was the perfect spot for our group. Good food, cozy ambiance, great service, and still casual enough for kids.

   I wouldn’t call this a diner because it’s not the typical diner experience. It’s a nice little restaurant with a decent menu. Service was slow because they were switching over from breakfast to lunch when we arrived. But our train had been cancelled, and we were in no hurry - so it worked out OK. Our waiter was a great. He checked on us frequently and apologized for the delay. The roast beef sandwich was delicious, and the fries were cooked perfectly. Hot and salty. The avocado toast was delicious, but a bit small for the price. We would definitely return in the future.

   This is a rather beautiful calm space right off the rather hectic Greeley Place. Formerly the upscale Press Club, it has comfy, clubby vibe but now offers a more approachable diner menu as B&L. Food is a cut above a regular diner. Service is very capable and friendly.

    Food was average. Eggs and hashbrown were cooked nicely; however, one piece of the side of bacon was way undercooked - to the point it was still raw. Definitely not worth the eight bucks. French omelet was decent but somehow cold, even though food came out very quickly. Service was basically nonexistent if you didn’t flag someone down to ask for something.
