Due to a common glitch in the service I used (can’t say which, sorry, never a good idea to negatively identify your employer publicly) the order was received only seconds after my arrival so I had to wait a little.
During that time I was lucky enough to watch several tables’ trays of food brought out and WOW! The food presentation and the aroma almost had me floating through the air after them Looney Tunes style! I’ve spent years as a professional line cook, this nose KNOWS, and what the sheer heaven I smelled?
Don’t let the “Diner” in the name bring up associations of your typical greasy spoon or casual diner, either. This is a crystal wine glass level establishment with a diner theme.
Amphora is spotlessly clean with an equally immaculately dressed (Think 50s soda jerk with the spotless white shirt and coat black bowtie) and well groomed staff!
As a rough around the edges Texas redneck wearing 501s and a graphics tee I felt pretty out of place at first, but every single staff member that passed me by and saw me standing around asked me if I needed any help and just made me feel incredibly welcome, even after knowing I wasn’t a paying customer. From the the host, to the servers, to the gentleman taking phone orders to the manager, everyone stopped to make sure I was being taken care of.
Imagine how they’ll treat you if you’re actually paying them!
Definitely taking my next date here to impress even if it’s a little off the beaten path for me (35min) and a little pricey it’s worth the trip.
And don’t miss out on their baked goods selection!
The service was less than attentive. It appeared there was only one waiter for the entire restaurant and there were about 20 or so customers. The only time I spoke to the waiter was getting water, ordering, receiving the order, and getting my bill. The waiter did apologize for not coming around more, so that was a plus.
The food definitely left a lot to be desired. I was actually still hungry after eating. I had the chicken and waffles with a side of 2 eggs and a milkshake. The fried chicken was overly fried, and the sauce on the chicken and waffles was unusual but palatable. Thankfully, they did not charge for the peanut butter. (If you haven’t had peanut butter on waffles, you’re missing out. The eggs were fine and properly cooked.
Now the milkshake. In what I consider the pinnacle of every restaurant that considers itself a diner was woefully missing in the mark in this case. You could actually drink t”he “milkshake” from a normal sized straw. It was not thick. It had the consistency of just milk with chocolate. I had ordered the Triple shake. It had a dab of whipped cream and a smaller amount of chocolate, butterscotch, and white chocolate chips on top. This was definitely not a food combo. As for the amount, this was the first time I’ve never received the leftovers in the tin can.
Hopefully, this was just a bad day since they seemed short-handed. Maybe I’ll get another chance to give a higher recommendation.
The food was delicious! It is a bit pricey so be mindful of that. If you ask for something other than what comes with the meal, it can be an additional $5+. You do get your money’s worth and they cook everything the way you like.
We did not have room for dessert but everything looked delicious! We will be going back and I recommend this Diner!
As for the food it was ok, I guess about what one would expect for average diner food. But nobody was wowed with their plate except for the large portions.
