The owners have definitely made an effort with the decoration of the diner but I think that is where it ends.
I found it overpriced for food that was poor to mediocre at best. San Francisco offers many other restaurants which will offer you way better quality and service at the same or even at a better price.
We have eaten at the diner three times and each time hoping for an improvement, I think it is time to call it quits. The diner is more of an eating novelty and as per normal here in Panama will be packed for a good few months until the clientele bore and move on to the next new thing.
Our meal today took 1 hour and 15 minutes to be served. It took the waitress one hour to explain why she could not serve us the drinks that we had ordered after us asking 7 times what the hold up on getting a drink was. Turns out that there was no water thus no soda. I think that could have been explained within 5 minutes of us ordering the drinks.
When the food was finally served it came out in dribs and drabs. The whole serving process took 40 minutes for 4 dishes.
I only hope that the diner can get their act together as I know I will not be returning and I live 100m away. I think the residents living close by that were hoping for a good quality, quick and easy alternative to having to jump in their car are going to be sorely disappointed.
