Reviews
What is special is the selective visibility: female customers are optional, male customers get eye contact and service. Today confirmed it. I asked a waitress—card terminal in hand—to let us pay. She suggested I navigate the crowded counter instead.
Seconds later, my husband returned from the restroom and suddenly she reappeared, smiling, with takeout containers and the card terminal. Amazing how service improves with a Y chromosome present.
I paid, tipped, and left unimpressed. Kindness shouldn’t be gender-specific. If you’re visiting Santa Monica looking for a warm American diner experience, I’d look elsewhere.
My problem is the constant pestering & rushing of the wait staff towards patrons just wanting to relax & eat their food at their own pace. I totally get that you need to turn tables but sweet Jesus you don’t have to literally put down the next customers silverware on our table while we’re still sitting there.
After I paid the bill (& tipped well) wait staff chose to ignore us & not take the courtesy to even fill up our coffees, clearly sending us a message to *get the hell out of here, we already made $ off of you*
