Review of The Diner
27 Jul 07, 16:54
I really want to like this place.... 
But it just misses the mark every time....
Firstly they have got to sort the beer out. The lager is incredibly fizzy - so much that it seems like cider, and worse gave a terrible hangover (although that might have been drink mixing!).
Worse is the quality of the food and the pricing - £7 for a burger to be told that i had to get fries separately is crazy for basically a glorified pub. The food quality was poor when it came.
Our waiter was really sweaty, literally wringing wet with it, which was pretty off putting to say the least.
Finally, you can't tell which toilet is which. And that gets embarrasing - although the toilet styling is cool.
The decor is close to a US style, and could be forgiven if the rest came up to scratch, but it doesn't so the decor looks and feels on the cheap side. Its confused - it doesn't know if it's a london lounge bar or traditional american diner.
I think it's run by the owners of two floors on kingly street which is a soho institution, without trying nearly so hard, so hopefully they'll be able to sort it out.
