Utopia Restaurant, New York, New York, American Restaurant Details

Food:

A wonderful diner! Friendly, comfortable, quiet. Excellent service and very good food. I eat here 2 or 3 times a year when I'm in the neighborhood and it's very consistent and reliable. It's a lovely place, low key, pleasant, relaxing, with very helpful staff and wait service. Re: a few recent negative reviews--sorry, I don't understand what these folks are talking about.

Food:

This diner is convenient, usually relatively friendly, and serves great fries. But my husband got food poisoning there - bad tummy, felt ill for a day, etc - and I should have taken that as a warning. But I did not.

Last week I ordered a bison burger. The next day, I was as sick as I have ever been. I lost three full days of work. And 6 pounds. I have never ever been so nauseated. I had chills (but no fever) that were ferocious. I literally could not eat, could not move, could not get warm, could not drink even water. It was beyind miserable, and it seemed to take forever to go away. I should probably have gone to the ER - except I could not move.

You have been warned. I wish I had taken the hint when my husband got what we now know was mild food poisoning. Don't go to this diner. It's like playing roulette. You might be ok - or you might get awfully ill. I would not wish what I had on anyone.

Food:

I love this diner. They are always so friendly when I go in. Their portions are very generous, and they serve the food very quickly. My favorite is their California Omlet and my husband loves their wraps.

Food:

We love this place, lots of good food and amazing perfect service. Front Botha for people watching can't be beat. It's a diner!

Food:

What I found to be +:
Good service in the morning.
Food meets expectations when looking for a decent standard American breakfast.
What I found to be -:
What they sell as cheese cake is not what it should be. It has no biscuit base and is a sweet dense cream.
The tip is sometimes billed straight off which is not the right thing to do. If customers don't pay it, it should be requested politely after checking satisfaction.
