Phoenicia Diner

I have to address some of the nonsense reviews oh here first lol To complain about a wait is ridiculous.

Everyone I know who has visited the area, as well as everything I ready online told me to come here for breakfast and it absolutely lived up to the hype in

Like Old faithful - Breakfast was delicious Had a "design it yourself" omelet with goat cheese, spinach and sweet onions.

I had been here a few times a few years ago and I remembered loving the place, but on my most recent visit, not so much. It was very crowded and very loud, so maybe we just came on a super busy day. It wasn't as clean as I remember it being in the past, both of my glasses were dirty and I just felt like the glassware really needed a deep clean. We went for lunch and were there for almost two hours, mostly waiting for our order to be taken and for the bill to arrive. It may have just been a really busy day but I was a bit disappointed compared to my previous experiences a few years ago. The server told us to split the bill with the cashier but the cashier was kind of spacing out and messed up the split. Although she apologized profusely, it was just another little inconvenience and we left it because we needed to get out of there. I gave 5 stars for food though, because the food is fresh and tastes great, they have great serving sizes, and there are great unique menu options, not just typical diner fare. The atmosphere is that of a diner but the food is restaurant quality, in my opinion.

They don’t make ‘em like they used to! This diner is nothing shorty of high quality and originality. Get the trout! Reminiscent of what I would imagine Don Draper and his family would visit on their Catskills family vacation. Coffee is tasty. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is blissful. Will be back for dinner!
