Diner No. 1

Its been awhile since me and Michael have dined out, I have so many places that I would like to go and I just don't know where to begin. So tonight we ended up going to  a little diner place in Steveston Village called Diner No.1 on 12251 No.1 Road. It use to be a little Italian place, but the new restaurant took over around October last year.

Salt & Pepper Wings - a bit dry

To start, the ambiance of Diner No.1 was really modern for a place that served comfort food. When you first walk in to the restaurant you see a bar that looked very slick. I loved the funky pictures that were hung around by each of the tables, it gave a little vintage and cozy vibe to the restaurant. For the longest time I was determined to get the Mac and Cheese at the place, the sound of Mac and Cheese just seem so wonderful, creamy cheese, crunchy bread crumbs, sounds delightful doesn't it?

But when I got to the restaurant Michael convinced me otherwise, he saw that there was a 3 for $10 deal called the This and That. They offered 14 different choices,  I saw the Disco Fries and I just couldn't resist, cheese fries and gravy, my inner Montrealian was just screaming "take it!" So I did, but really struggled with my two other choices so I randomly just chose something. Chicken Fingers, and Salt and Pepper chicken wings with blue cheese dipping sauce. The Disco Fries wasn't bad, you can't go wrong with cheese and gravy. I found the chicken wings and chicken fingers a little dry though. Michael also got the This and That deal - ordering the Salt and  Pepper Chicken Wings, Meaty Dry Ribs which we both thought was very dry, and the Mini Fish and Chips. He thought that one was the best.

I am not sure if I liked the 3 for $10 deal, but I am pretty determined to return to finally give that Mac and Cheese a try. Michael agrees with me, he would go back to try their other food on their menu, I know he had a beef sandwich he had his eye on. With the two This and That deal, the bill came to $22 plus tip.
