"Food was good. Very sad to see that some of the food items that are iconic to the diner have been removed from the menu. Not sure if it stands out anymore. My previous favorites: *I first took my daughter here for stuffed French toast after seeing it on the Food Network. It was amazing and they would even package it to go so we could take home and enjoy later. *I also took a recommendation for trying chicken and waffles. (strips, not bone in item that is on the menu now). It was incredible. *I also was looking for the mash potato croquettes. They were unique and very tasty. *The last item was the donuts. They were to die for, but I do understand the machine broke and is not going to be repl...

For the first time in 10 years of coming to the Trolley Car Diner, I walked out angry and hungry. Ordered breakfast, never came, asked the waitress...

I'll go here at least once a month. The staff is super friendly. The food is cheap and tasty. Love their salads. You have so much change. I am also pleased to have breakfast at any time. So many beer options too!

"Great experience and great food! Top shelf drinks. Definitely worth the money. Service was outstanding from the hostess to the waiters. They were also kind enough to accommodate my request of moving my reservation back when I was running late. I really appreciated that!"

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."

"The whole experience was wonderful. The staff is so beautiful and pleasant. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken mile and it was spicy. My husband had a lobster court and he torn it. My husband also had an old fashion and said it was the best he ever had. Definitely recommend."

"Talula’s Garden is my new favorite restaurant! I have lived in the city for 35 years. Each entree we ordered was super excellent. The seasonings raised the bar in the flavor department. Attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The drink specials were amazing too. We will make this our preferred destination in the future."

"tldr: amazing at always step the complete glowing review: the restaurant itself was very beautiful. the lighting was a perfect balance between dim and still in the position to read the menu. the decorative lights were so beautiful. there were also the most cosiest stands in which I was ever, they are surrounded by curtains and feel so private and comfortable. the corners have kissen and once I was stuffed at the end of the meal I was grateful to lean on them. the personal was wonderful. they let our table see the fish and bring them. they have great suggestions and know the menu well. that should die. the appetizers, sides and main dishes were delicious and perfectly cooked. No one on our table of six had a crumbling left on their teller. we had vegetarian dishes, fish, huh, brote, it was all wonderful."
