Diana's Cafe

This has to be at the top of your list for dining! I do not usually prefer breakfast, but everything was so delicious! I got the eggs benedict with home fries and it was phenomenal! The coffee is also amazing; its bold, full of flavor and perfect black. It was very filling and well priced! I will definitely be stopping here again any time that I am in town!

Amazing as always. There are many choices of restaurants to choose from but I'll always choose this one above all the rest. When I travel from Lakewood, Colorado I purposely go to Diana's Cafe because everything from the host to the delicious food is amazing. Especially Ashley. She is a wonderful waitress and an even more amazing person. Thank you for the great service!

My son had a baseball tournament at DeSales and with an early game we were ready for a quality breakfast. A friend of mine suggested Diana’s and he was spot on! The restaurant was busy mid morning on a Saturday but the place is good size and were seated in just a few minutes. Their menu has about everything you would expect for a breakfast/lunch place. I had their blueberry pancakes and they were outstanding. If you’re local to Center Valley you already know about Diana’s but if you’re passing through and you’re hungry for GOOD food then do yourself a favor and stop in.

I visited this cafe yesterday. The food, coffee and Ice-Teas were really good. The reason I gave it a 3 star only is because of the young hostess. She took us to our table and there were two other groups that sat down after us. She took our drink orders and served them and then walked away. We waited as she went to get drinks for the other groups. She walked by us a couple times and did not stop to take our food order. I then saw her going to one of the groups after us and was taking their food order. I looked at her as she walked away from their table and she just continued to walk past our table without stopping to get our order. She then goes to her front area and leans against the counter and just starts talking to another hostess. I then called another hostess over who was in the room and asked her to get our waitress. I see her telling her that I was asking for her and just by her physical gestures she had attitude and then went to the computer to what looked like to me was putting in the food order she had taken, which should have been done as soon as she took the order but instead she decided to just go talk to the other hostess. After a couple minutes she then comes to our table to get our food order. Which by the way either she wrote the wrong food item or the cook made a mistake to one of my orders (I don’t blame the cook if it was their honest mistake) After I ordered our food I did not see her again. She was not attentive to her tables as she should’ve been. I had finished my coffee and the other person I was with had finished their drink she did not even come by the table to ask if we wanted refills and mind you she walked past our table at least twice. It wasn’t until we received our food that another hostess who brought the food out asked if we wanted refills. I asked the young hostess for something and as I was talking to another hostess she came by around the table to the other side with what I asked for and just kind of threw it on the table. I was not satisfied with her service at all. She was even lucky I left her $5 instead of $4 because that was all I was going to leave her but I didn’t have singles on me. This hostess needs to be re-trained. She will affect your reviews and it may make people not return to your establishment. I am not sure how the other hostesses are with their tables, but I did see another review stating the service is awful which is a shame because the food is good but your services are not. Hostesses need to be more attentive to their tables. Their tips are based off their service so if they get a low or no tip at all then they should know what that means. I might try it again in the future let’s just hope the service will be better then.

It has been awhile since we dined in at Diana's. We arrived around 1pm on a saturday and were seated right away as the morning rush was over. . Their close time is 2pm and I was excited to try some of the specials of the day. Menu has a good selection of items from sandwiches to breakfast and I went with one of their specials, a Gouda and ham with apple slices melt sandwich plus a orange salad with grilled chicken and balsamic glaze. The wait was extensive and more than I expected considering the morning rush was over but we chalked it up to maybe they were under-staffed. When the food arrived I was disappointed with the Gouda ham melt sandwich. There was absolutely nothing special about this sandwich. It was basically bread with salty ham and Gouda that wasn't melted and a few slices of apple. (I rearranged the sandwich for this pic . It was served flat) There was no sauce spread on the bread or special preparation for the sandwich or presentation, and served with chips. It was the most simple basic, boring and dry sandwich that I never expected from Diana's, and something I could have gotten better at Wegmans or fresh market. .The salad was good but the sandwich was bad and needed something to elevate it to a higher level. To spend 13.00 per sandwich was in my opinion not worth the money, and considering the extensive wait time it really wasn't worth the wait. I am a fan of Diana's and they have always been good in the past but I have noticed since they have grown in popularity the quality has really gone down dramatically. I am not sure if it is a question of lacking skilled kitchen help or growing so fast and being so busy that they are cutting corners and not going the extra step. I was disappointed and did not finish my sandwich. I hope the cooking improves because it is a nice place that I would like to continue visiting. For now I will try other local places. Definately Needs improvements. Not worth the money.
