Just up the street from Davis Square, this diner's bright neon sign and streetcar exterior are hard to miss. However, the refurbished interior goes along with a yuppified menu that is much tastier than your average diner fare. The wait for a table can be considerable on weekends, even with the expanded seating area behind the diner proper. Try delicious pasta and fish dishes, accompanied by beer or wine. Or, if you must, have the meatloaf.
