What people say

The last time I was here ...40 years ago! It's good to know that some things don't change!!! World class restaurant!
Joe Couto
One of the few 'Diners' still left in Toronto. Definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the food!! Excellent menu with some traditional diner items like Mac & Cheese, Meatloaf and Liver & Onions.
