Studio Diner 10.11.2020

Everyone recognize our friend Carl here? His brother Charles lives with him on our back patio and to be honest? They havent been pulling their weight lately... All we ask is they scare a few kids in exchange for free rent... can it get any better than THAT?! But to be fair, we havent seen a kid in these parts in far too long. We havent opened yet and trust us when we say, we are just as devastated as every last one of you. ... Carl here has had a mask on for WEEKS waiting for his favorite customers to walk through those doors again. Because Carl knows they will. Carl knows that once his Landlord finds it socially, financially and morally responsible to open? He absolutely will. With the uncertainty that is the Restaurant Industry as of late, we decided to take this time to give our Humble Abode a massive sprucing up. Were taking top to bottom, front to back. Did you know the Diner has a secret second story?!?! Below your feet exists the heart of our operation- with offices, prep kitchens, storage and more. When we undertook all of our renovations, we figured we had at least a few months to do so. So when things opened up, we were caught by surprise! And we unfortunately weren't quite ready to serve our famous fare next to dusty chainsaws and fresh paint buckets. But we want to let every last one of our faithful patrons know, the renovations are nearly done. Chairs are going back to their places and new stoves are being wheeled into the final resting place. "So when are you opening?!?!" We wish we knew... we were confident in renovations being done this month. But now we face the terribly difficult decision every restaurant in America is facing- To Open or Not to Open. With COVID cases rising at alarming rates and almost crippling regulations being put on our industry, we have been weighing the benefits of opening right now. And the very difficult answer we came to was- Not to Open.... for now. We measured and assembled and measured again but with "Outdoor Seating Only" and a 6 FT requirement between tables... we would only be able to serve a handful of you at a time. That honestly sounds like a dream come true compared to our current closed doors, but when we get down to it. It just isn't financially responsible. So we continue to wait and we continue to get better. We are going to have this operation is TIP TOP shape for every last one when we finally get to open those doors. Because friends, we WILL OPEN OUR DOORS.... Maybe just a little later than we had all hoped.

We are experiencing unprecedented circumstances with this pandemic. Even though we chose to temporarily close our doors, we still have each and every one of you on our minds and in our hearts. We will get through this, we will survive this, we will come out the other end and we will get back to business as usual. Cant wait to see you all on the other side. In the time being, what do you all do for quarantine fun? Because we don't quite know what to do with ourselves! We tri...ed asking the cat if it wanted a side of lemons with its water bowl... but we didn't quite get the reaction we are used to... Thank you for the photo Gilberto Dorrego TV ! We ARE Stronger Together!

Hello everyone! Boy do we miss each and every one of you! You haven’t forgotten about us, have you!? Our Studio Diner crew has been kickin back and enjoying some invaluable family time! But if we can all be honest- we’re missing the days of running around our bustling and happy restaurant. Refilling Coffee and slinging pancakes. Joking with our coworkers turned lifelong friends. Seeing the smiling faces of all the wonderful people who have kept us in business for all of thes...e years. So while we kick back in our PJ’s and watch yet another 6 hour Netflix binge, we all anxiously await the day we get to RE- OPEN! Keep up with us here and on Instagram for any and all updates regarding our temporarily closure due to the spread of Covid-19. We will be closely following the situation to safely determine when our date of reopening will be and we can NOT wait to see you all again SOON!
