Frommer's Review
The building started as a French restaurant during the gold rush era and then became a brothel and speakeasy before the Tengs family got it in 1953. The history is on the back of the menu. In the current generation, the food has taken center stage from the bar. The two parts are divided off by attractive etched glass, but both are smoke-free. The diner serves burgers, wraps, salads, pasta, and lots of seafood. A wide variety of food and prices should suit everyone, including a good children's menu. The halibut and chips is celebrated.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
