I finally tried Dinette for the first time last night!\n\nFirst impressions: super tiny, nice staff, funny looking breadsticks, small water glasses, decently varied menu choices.\n\nMy date and I sat at the pizza bar, as there were no seats left in the house. We had good, friendly service, and we got to watch them cook the whole time. The cooks are professional, clean, and look like they are enjoying what they are doing. I love eating at a place that lets you watch while they cook (I'm looking at you, Salt of the Earth!).\n\nI got the mushroom pizza, and my date got the salami pizza. Mine was really good, perfectly cooked crust, not too dry, flavorful, and a good size. My date said his was excellent and that he really liked the scrambled eggs on top of the pizza. It's weird because the eggs don't look like eggs on top of the pizza. We were trying to figure out how they did it. I think they have raw egg in a squirt bottle. Haha.\n\nConsensus: above average food, nice atmosphere, and I would definitely come back and try some other things. I think as far as the food goes, Mercurios does it slightly better (at least with the pizzas, but Dinette appears to have the appetizers beat), but Dinette provides much better service.
