Davis Diner — Restaurant in Newmarket

I gave local a try. It really frustrates me to leave a low review, I think largely due to the businesses lack of authenticity and service. I showed up as a breakfast for one, and I could tell immediately that this location would have preferred that I was not there. I ordered and was not checked on for how my food was, and if I needed any condiments, the usual. I watched as my server, potentially the owner was selectively overly kind to particular, full tables.

I also witnessed that the older bus boy was being scolded in a harsh manner for cleaning too much silverware. Watching this quick dichotomy from fake pleasant to downright mean spoiled my meal. When I asked for the bill, paid and left the staff neither looked at or said anything to me.

In terms of my overall assessment this is an unsettling atmosphere. It feels more like an assembly line for profit then a loving breakfast place. The former retro decor cannot rescue this place from its cold management and staff members. The price is high for what you get. I was not impressed with the eggs benedict being cooked in egg moulders. It just lends to this review. There’s no small sides like fruit.

It just feels like a gouge and a place that leaves you feeling sad and depressed. I’m extremely local and, I would have been a potential big profit to this business. Now due to this experience I would rather drive to my main local breakfast...

My friend introduced me to this place about 6 months ago and it has been a regular stop for us. It used to be a Wimpy's and became a casualty of the covid-19 pandemic. It was purchased by a new Canadian family a year or two ago and they have delivered continuous excellent food and service since then. Today we had a an interesting situation happen where Michelle a new server on the floor took care of us over lunch. When it came time to process our bill there was a small glitch and we paid him bill that was $4.50 less than our bill. Michelle was nervous and the owner came to say she would cover it instead of charging us the extra 4.50. I know it sounds crazy over less than $5 but we argued with her to allow us to pay the extra. My argument was this.

We all have a responsibility when there is a good place in our neighborhood that we like to keep it going. We need to make sure that if we want these places here, we need to patronize them and become regulars. And most of all we need to make sure that we support the people who take on the risk to place these restaurants near our homes. So many times I've heard people regret the closing of a place that they said they loved and then when you asked them how often they ate there it was only once or twice. If you value things, treat them as things of value.. Oh, by the way again, food was awesome...

I came in with my service dog today and I felt horrible because Aiko had shook right at the front door when I walked in and I didnt want the establishment to feel imposed upon with health regulations. I was really appreciative because everyone was really nice to me. I of course had her documentation that explains why shes with me in the restaurant (dont worry I didnt just walk in with my animal expecting to have dog fur etc around food I understand normal dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant.) They handled me with such welcoming service and the food was absolutely delicious. As someone who has to have her animal with her because of her circumstances; It really made me feel comfortable, respected and understood. I would definitely go back anytime to this restaurant because everyone was lovely and the food (I even devoured) how amazing it was. I wanted to apologize for having to bring Aiko in with me. ut I will definitely spread the word about how amazing your establishment was for myself, my grandmother and husband
