It's not easy to differentiate this kind of meal at a breakfast cafe, but this place does it. They do not go cheap on the ingredients. This is not your paper-thin bacon and bland sausage links. They serve exactly what i would make for myself at home. For more adventurous breakfast or brunch, they've got lots of creative and equally delicious sandwiches, baked goods, and sweets. Not pictured is the breakfast Reuben sandwich. Amazing.... Comfortable seating, plenty of space and quick, delicious food. The staff here are always happy to chat with customers and are very appreciative of our compliments. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for delicious breakfast or brunch.

"I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter…read moreI hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) When you talk about a big menu at a diner, what exactly are you talking about? Is it the number of things on the menu, or more literally, the dimensions, area, and total square inches of the menu? The Plaza Diner's menu is huge in both respects. Our party of three sat at a table for four, and the three menus pretty much covered the entire table! That oversized menu is loaded with oversized variety too and will proudly hold its own against any Long Island or New Jersey diner's menu. It's loaded with Appetizers, Salads, Classic Diner Sandwiches, Specialty Sandwiches, Club Sandwiches, Wraps & Paninis, Egg Sandwiches. Sides, Deluxe Burgers, Greek & Italian Specialties, steaks, seafood, breakfasts, and desserts. I saw an interesting side dish among their listings of fries, rings, and potato salad. So, if you want a side order of a pint of Green Goddess, well.. you're in luck for just $9. I had a Crock O' Chili (hold the cheese) served with tortilla chips for $8.50 and a Tossed Salad with honey mustard dressing for $8. That's pretty decent pricing for Fairfield County. The chili was very good. It was piping hot which is always a plus. It wasn't spicy but had great overall color and flavor with a good amount of ground beef. The salad was a nice portion of lettuce, red and yellow pepper slices, red onions, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, croutons, cucumber slices, and sliced black olives. It was a big variety of ingredients and a big portion for a side salad. Our server was pleasant and did check back on us which is always something I look for. The restaurant has three large dining rooms, and they were all fairly crowded this Saturday afternoon. I saw a few large family parties of ten or more having a blast. PRO TIPS They have a full bar in case you want a beer with your burger or a Mimosa with your pancakes. Your server doesn't handle payments, so you bring your bill up to the cashier's station. That will also bring you up near the bakery showcase, so good luck resisting those gorgeous cakes and pies.

The salad was large and it felt like I didn't make a dent when eating it. The Peach habanero wings - it was my first time trying a peach flavor wing, typically you see mango habanero. I liked the peach flavor, it packs a punch and full of flavor. I also appreciate that they weren't dry/overcooked. The Boss- the hashbrowns were very crispy and the waffles were good. They were listed as bacon and cheese waffles but they just seemed like normal waffles to me. Also, I wasn't a fan of the sausage. They had an interesting taste I cannot describe. The service was great. Our waiter, Dan, was very kind and personable. The prices were fair given the portions you got. Overall, a mix bag but not wouldn't write this off.

The interior of this place is incredibly beautiful and so inviting. I sat at the bar and saw many items on the menu that looked so good. I was in the mood for seafood and really wanted their zuppa di pesce but didn't want a whole portion because I know I wouldn't be able to finish it. The bartender told me that I could order a half order which was incredibly exciting. I checked out the rest of the venue and the outdoor area in the back which was kind of magical. I tried a few mocktails, they were good, the coconut one was best. The dish I ordered was delicious, as well as the bread served with olive oil that had roasted garlic in it. I loved everything about this experience. I learned that they have an all you can eat buffet every Sunday for only 40 dollar. Can't wait to try it. Thank you Osteria!

The ambiance is still very nice. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't very loud, but I can see…read morehow it could get so because we had a table of very loud women next to us. Can't imagine if we multiplied that by any additional tables. I just want to bring up the bread. Such a wasted opportunity to serve something so inexpensive that has such an impact on the overall experience. The bread is bafflingly bad. It's dry, and hard and tastes like nothing. The garlic infused oil that should improve the old stale bread is served with the hard skin still on the garlic. That's not edible and it's also not easy to remove once it's all mixed together. A small complaint about the lasagna. It's mostly cheese and very difficult to find any pasta among the soupy cheese and tomatoes. The taste is good but it's a bit of a rip off to serve something like lasagna with one or maybe two layers. The chicken parm was still delicious as was the polenta appetizer. Service was friendly and prompt. If they could just fix the bread and garlic situation and maybe bulk up the lasagna with some noodles, we'd be back.

For the entrées, I had the Delmonico Ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. It was warm, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. We also ordered the Steak Burger 111, which was equally impressive--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The drinks were also great and reasonably priced, which was a nice bonus. To finish the meal, we had Matilda's Chocolate Layer Cake. It was rich, delicious, and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, everything was spot on from start to finish. Great food, excellent service, reasonably priced drinks, and quality throughout. We'll definitely be back again!

The place was packed which I thought was good because it was a sign of a good spot. But we noticed most people were at the bar. The server was friendly but obviously overworked. Basically brought us water and took our order. Never checked up on us during the meal. Food was very good to be fair and the portions were adequate. We just felt it was nothing great. They just took our order, dumped our food and that was it goodbye. Plus it was so loud it was just not enjoyable. There are so many places to eat in the area for great relaxing meal but this isn't one of them. We go out weekly but will not be back here.
