Called ahead. Lost our name. Waited an hour. Placed in budiest table next to kitchen. Staff disorginized and screeming above our table. Mix up on wine. Took 50 minutes to receive cold food. 4 star prices at 1 star service. Never again

First time ever in which a diner refuses to serve egg whites only (I don't mind paying extra) with an excuse that I don't quite understand: "Because it is too busy." Anyway, I picked the only item available in the menu that did not look entirely unhealthy: Mushroom omelet. I guess I shouldn't go to this kind of diner if I am looking for "healthy". Yet in general diners don't have any problems with providing egg whites for an extra charge. It's not like I was requesting extra virgin olive oil and organic vegetables! Not at all! This is the kind of mushroom omelet that you get at Merry Ann's Diner: You can taste the can flavor in the mushroom. Those cheap can mushrooms just came out of a humid tin can and have not been soaked in the omelet for long enough to lose the taste of tin from the can. You can even taste the water preserve from the can sticking to the mushroom. The cheese in the omelet is even worse, since it just came out of those cheap packages of singles and it wasn't even half way melt in the egg. It was still partly stiff from the fridge. The actual omelet (the egg part) did not taste like anything (which is much better than the mushrooms tasting like the humid tin from the can). I love the look of the place, though! I would go back as a photographer because it is a really sweet, cozy, traditional piece of Americana. Because of the looks they get 2 stars instead of 1. By the way, if you order toast and you don't want them to soak your toast in half a gallon of butter, let them know in advance! Otherwise you get a gallon of butter on your toast by "default."

Started off at the bar with a great bartender who had me sample and choose from a couple of Merlots. V attentive. The vibe in RigaTony's is really mellow, friendly and warm. Our waitress was very knowledgeable - gave us gluten free options as well. Antipasto salad was tremendous and v fresh with a tasty dressing. The bread was warm and good and the dipping olive oil was spectacular. Ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana dinner which came with spaghetti on the side. Breaded and cooked just right with really great marinara sauce. Asked for some more sauce which I promptly got . Sat in the outdoor covered patio which was really nice on a pleasant night. The staff were happy and having a good time. Bringing a group of friends here to experience the awesome meal, atmosphere and service. 5 stars indeed.

We came here around lunch time with Buffet of Buffets (BoB) pass and we decided to come to see how bad it was. Seriously we didn't come with much expectation, we just wanted to see how bad it was after reading so many reviews. And we can't agree more, this buffet is really bad. They do have food but none of them look appealing even when you are hungry. The dessert station was full of cupcakes which I don't eat even on a regular day. I know you are gonna laugh when I am about to tell you that their steamed jasmine rice is the best they had there. Yes, I mean it. We are so glad we went there with BoB, we only sat there for one hour. What an interesting ride. I don't know who would want to pay full price to get in this buffet.
