    The food was delicious. Sadly the server scraped plates at the table and cleared in a way that left us all feeling bummed out.

    The food at Electric Diner was really good—fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. However, the service left something to be desired. Staff seemed a bit disinterested and not very attentive, which took away from the overall experience. I'd still recommend it for the food, but don’t expect standout service.

    We went for a painting event and had dinner and drinks at the same time. Electric Diner always delivers, and it has such a unique menu and design.

    Gorgeous spot for lunch with friends! We had the Korean Chicken Sandwich, George Michael, Salad and fries- everything was grand. We also loved our Mini Egg Espresso martinis. My friend brought her baby and everyone was so lovely with him- but, I could also see this as a great date spot in the evenings. Will be back soon!

    We went at one pm on a Sunday and made a reservation through open table. We were seated quickly and our food was solid. However, we had to ask three times to get water over the course of an hour. There was no follow up to see how we were doing or if we needed anything which made for a less than perfect meal as we were thirsty. A fun place to go, but I don't go back for brunch because of this service.
