The newly opened New York style restaurant was bustling with diners when we arrived at around 7pm on a Saturday night. We were thankful that we made reservations as most of the seats were taken up or reserved by the time we arrived.
The restaurant's interior is very basic with plain walls and basic furniture, but the lively chatter around the place offered a rather relaxing ambience for good night's out with friends.

Rosario's Fried Risotto Balls
$10.50 |
For starters, we had one of Little Diner's chef's specials, the Rosario's Fried Risotto Balls, served with Mozzarella, tomato coulis and basil pesto.
The Risotto balls were fried to a golden crisp exterior, revealing beads of fragrant grains on the inside. The tomato coulis was almost non existent but it was not an issue as the risotto balls were good on thier own.

Coney Island Flash Fried Calamari
$13.50 |
The Coney Island Flash Fried Calamari was light on the palate and I like the fact that the golden rings were not dripping in oil or overly greasy. I would have appreciated a little more seasoning to the batter but I suppose that could be rectified by dipping the rings into the mayo sauce provided.

350g Beef Tenderloin with mushroom crust wrapped with bacon
$30 |
The 350g Beef Tenderloin with mushroom curst wrapped with bacon was nicely prepared to medium doneness and the dish was excellent. The beef was juicy and succulent and went well with the sliced bacon and savory mushroom crust. This dish was a daily special and is not currently on the menu.

| Baked Salmon Fillet$22.50 |
Another daily special on the menu is the Baked Salmon Fillet was served with crabmeat polenta, and saffron beurre blanc sauce. Unlike the previous dish, this dish was ordinary and hardly outstanding. The polenta was quite a letdown with the crabmeat being almost non-existent.

The Midtown Beef Burger
$18 |
The Midtown Beef Burger was served with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and handcut fries. Another Chef's special on the menu, you could add bacon ($2) and fried egg ($1.50) to your burger to additional goodness. The serving is huge and would make a good hearty meal.

Chocolate pots de creme
$8 |
The Chocolate pots de creme was served with whipped cream and served cold. The dish resembled very much like strong milo chocolate mousse and I would imagine it being a hit with chocolate lovers.
Service was wonderful, the staff were friendly and it's pretty much a good place to chill out for dinner.
