Newport Diner — Restaurant in Palm Springs

I used to go to Newport Cafe 2-3 times a week back in the 90's and have a yummy handburger, fries, and Cole slaw for $5.75. Well I went for breakfast the other day and was taken back with the prices..my order was glass of orange juice, an omelet with tom. green peppers, cheese, included was English muffin, plus I ordered side of sausage which was 2 sausage links. It came to almost $17.00...not including tip..this is a little old cafe restaurant. ...nothing special. I would rather go to Dennys where you get more for the dollar...my friend had blueberry pancakes which were flat, flat flat..I didn't care for them. Overall I was very dissapointed..from now on, I will pay more attention...

I walked into the diner at 12:55pm. Seated immediately. It wasnt crowded. I was with my daughter and my son. My son has long flowing bouncy hair and is 250lbs 5' 10 and looks Samoan. I am dark skin and dark hair, and my daughter is tall, lanky, and light skinned.

We were seated all the way in the back by the rest room even though other areas had tables. The predominantly Baby Boomer-Senior age Caucasian atmosphere was nice. It reminded me of my mom. We waited.. quietly... waited some more. Heard people who were just seated asked if they wanted anything to drink. Waited...By 1:10 we walked out.

That was the worst experience for myself and my kids to witness.

Thanks...

This was a new find for my wife & I. Hidden away in a plaza off Forest Hill Blvd. after Congress. From outside the place looks small, once we walked in, we saw just how big it was. Staff was nice & cordial and welcoming. Our waitress Debra was very nice but never came back to check on us once she dropped the food off. I had the hash & eggs with home fries, the portion was good but, the home fries were very bland with no seasoning, onions, peppers, nothing. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and comfortable. We will try it again, next...
