Much to our surprise, we found that diner is located in the same space as the now-defunct Moon River Diner. Upon entering we were greeted with familiar strains of juke box music, a black and white tiled floor and décor reminiscent of a good old American diner, circa 1950's. The menu / place mat slipped in front of us noted an all day breakfast with tantalizing items like homemade waffles, bacon and eggs (YY45) and a bottomless cup of coffee for only YY20 in addition to the expected diner food like burgers and fries. However, nothing looks better on a damp winter Shanghai night than a slice of comforting meatloaf, so we chose meatloaf with mushroom gravy (YY60). The cream of broccoli soup looked appetizing but was cold and upon first tasting. It was necessary to beef up the bland taste with salt and pepper which greatly improved it. The serving was enormous, the succulent mushroom gravy was piping hot. Sadly the side of mashed potatoes was cold and the meatloaf a bit on the mushy side, though the accompanying mélange of vegetables were ample, fresh and tastily sautéed. Macaroni and cheese (YY60) was an improvement with a creamy cheddar and Parmesan sauce and a crunchy bread topping. The redeeming factor of this value packed meal would have been a slice of home-baked apple pie (YY25). Unfortunately, our friendly, aiming-to-please waitress said they were out of all the pies.Though somewhat disappointed, there is still potential here if the inherited recipes of old are followed and the kitchen has some quality control. A return visit is warranted if only for that elusive piece of apple pie. Peggy Rosen
