Meeting number 2!
Place: City Limits Diner, 200 Central Avenue, White Plains, NY
Attendees: Andrew, Jeff, Pat Shelley, Sylvia and Yuee
Our thoughts:
Shelley: I had a cheddar omelette with home fries and a piece of lemon poppy pound cake. The omelette was delicious, nice and fluffy, and not too cheesy. The cheddar was nicely melted, encased in the middle of the fluffy omelette. It was melted just enough, but not to the point of being gooey or runny. The home fries were formed into a small rectangle. They were a perfect combination of soft and crunchy, and were nicely seasoned. The lemon poppy pound cake, baked on the premises, was moist but not overly greasy or buttery. The citrus flavor was subtle, not too overpowering, and provided a nice flavor complement to the rest of my meal. The atmosphere was good–lots of families, but no screaming kids 🙂 The service was prompt and attentive.
Sylvia: I had the City Breakfast Sandwich. It was pretty good. Although two types of salsa (roja and verde) were a little too much for a breakfast sandwich. The rest of the sandwich consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage and a slice of Monteray Jack cheese on what seemed like a brioche bun. It was very good, and very filling.
Pat:
What I had: Pancakes
What it cost: 7.95, 10 including tax and tip
Worth it?: Hell yes
The Rating: 4/5
The details: Slightly more expensive than what one might expect to pay at a diner, City Limits’ buttermilk pancakes more than make up for this price discrepancy with wonderful fluffy texture, rich batter, and YES! REAL MAPLE SYRUP! What a blessing! The pancakes absorb the syrup beautifully, and the final product is a taste sensation. Where these pancakes were lacking was around the edges; they lacked the crispiness you hope for in a perfect pancake. Aside from that mild complaint, these are excellent pancakes, well worth your wallet and palate. The service was adequate.
The recommendation: Try’em!
