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 by attractive etched glass but both are smoke-free. The diner serves burgers, salads, pasta, and lots of seafood. Many light and healthful items are on the menu along with the solid fried foods. Get the halibut and chips.
