	+ ------ + ''2009-11-02 18:36:56'' [[nbsp]] My wife and I enjoyed lunch there on the 23rd of October. My matzo ball soup was great and the tuna melt was served open-faced with real tuna topped with melted cheese. My wife loved her Swiss Burger and the fries were very good. A nice diner atmosphere - wish we had room to try the deserts - maybe next time. --["Users/BradMandell"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-11-02 12:28:33'' [[nbsp]] I can appreciate that many people don't find anything appealing about large portions. That said, I had dinner at Mike's last night and I just finished having the second half of my meal--a very tasty pastrami panini--for lunch. Therein (for me, anyway) is the beauty of huge portions. Not gorging at one setting, but getting two meals for the price of one. Anyway, about Mike's NY Diner. Very nice diner atmosphere. Large selection of home-made baked goods. The matzo ball soup is amazing. I enjoyed the dalmades very much. The menu is huge and varied, which can be a drawback for upscale restaurants but is a definite asset for a New York style diner. I've been to Mike's three times now, tried three different dishes (six, if you count the bites of my wife's meal I had each time) and have not had a bad experience yet. --["Users/KurtSample"]

Anyone who's been to a New York diner can count on this for being authentic. The prices are exactly what's expected for the portion size, quality and service. The potatoes were delicious and not instant, the brocolli was fresh and crispy with garlic butter, the salad consisted of good greens (not iceburg), cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and other good stuff and the turkey was not the kind that you get at the deli counter. They even have the best Monte Cristo around and if you haven't had one, now is your chance. Definitely a must to check out. - --["Users/dark"]	+ ''2009-08-21 16:54:42'' [[nbsp]] 9009-08-15 Went here for lunch and was absolutely fantastic.

	+ ------ + ''2009-09-30 23:22:14'' [[nbsp]] I just tried this place and have no reason to rush back. I started by ordering the kafteri appetizer. I expected what I've had elsewhere-- a simple blend of feta, hot peppers, and olive oil with the consistency of a very thick dip. What I got was a mound of rather firm granular cheese and peppers and virtually no olive oil. The portion size was ridiculously huge. My partner ordered nachos as an appetizer and out came an obscenely huge mound of tortilla chips with what seemed like a Velveeta-like cheese drizzled on top. Unpleasant. I had ordered the Greek combination plate of spanakopita, pastichio, and moussaka. It came with a side salad that I didn't eat because some of the lettuce was brown. The bottom of the spanakopita was swimming in oil, and the layers of filo on top were too thick and I just peeled them off to get to the spinach mixture inside (which wasn't anything special). The mousasaka wasn't terrible, but had way too much meat sauce (which was greasy). The pastichio was also dense. In short, their Greek dishes were nothing like Mykonos at their height (when they were still in the Village Gate Square Mall). + + I don't understand the people who are impressed by gigantic portions. Even if I liked the food better, the portion sizes would still be stupid-large. + + Finally, while I could certainly do without the televisions that was showing Fox News (sorry, Glen Beck's latest conspiracy theories and Sean Hannity's brand of stupidity doesn't enhance digestion), I did like the music that was playing. I'm pretty sure it was XM's "First Wave" which is a mix of 80's New Wave-esque music. At least there aren't may places I've eaten where I hear Violent Femmes followed by Shriekback followed by Public Image Limited. --["Users/JohnPassaniti"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-09-14 10:38:26'' [[nbsp]] Very disappointing – while you do get a lot of food, you also pay a lot more, compared to other (much better) diners. With a menu that size there is no way their entrees can be fresh. We chose breakfast. I was going to get the omelet, and while I expect to pay extra for egg whites, $1.50 for cheese?!!? I got the French toast and Canadian bacon which was adequate. The biggest disappointment was the waitress. No free relish tray (despite customers all around us receiving this), no refill on the coffee and only checked on us once and couldn’t wait to give us the check. After getting a coffee, I realized there was no sweetener on the table – what is this 1976? And with no waitress, there was no way to get any. We mentioned all this to the staff at the register, and they barely apologized and said that we should have got the relish tray…and then made no attempt to offer any kind of further apology or recompense (you couldn’t even knock the price of my unsweetened coffee off the bill?!?). This was our first and last visit. Just like the coffee, this experience left a very nasty taste in our mouths. + + NYC Prices & Attitude--no thanks! If you want real diner food at good prices and quality service, try The Original Steve’s or Billy’s Homestead restaurant. --["Users/Dlacy"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-05 20:53:26'' [[nbsp]] I’m a diner fan, and I was very happy to see this place open. Stopped by the other night. My wife had the portobello panini – very attractive, very tasty – the high point of the meal. I had the turkey dinner – one of my diner favorites. Massive on the plate, but disappointing – the mashed potatoes were instant (waitress had told me they would not be); stuffing lacked flavor, and was very, very dense and heavy; gravy was dark brown (beef?), not terribly flavorful, and – as it cooled – it developed an unappetizing, congealed crust. The prices at this place were fairly high, as diners go – and would be okay if the quality were commensurately high – but in my opinion, Mike’s did not deliver. Not sure when I’ll go back – there are other, better and less expensive options. Too bad, though – still waiting for a good ‘Jersey-style’ diner in Rochester. --["Users/Statman"]
