The Gem Diner

My daughter spotted it first. For this part of central New York, The Gem Diner holds its own.

The vegetable sides were treated as part of the dish, not an afterthought. That tells you something about where the kitchen's head is.

The pacing was intentional. Appetizer cleared before the mains arrived. A small thing that most places get wrong.

One of the clearest yes-answers I have given in a while.
