The Daily News says-
"Best in Manhattan: Skylight Diner
Generous portions, an excellent grilled burger with crisp fries, fresh-tasting tuna salad and an exceptional cinnamon-dusted, vanilla-flavored rice pudding make this diner one that merits return visits. And did we mention the really good service?"

I've gone to Skylight Diner twice and I loved it both times. The food is amazing, very cheap, and they have lots and lots of choices. I had the tuna burger and it was absolutely delicious, but I had to take half of it home because the portions are HUGE. The only complaint I have is the service. Both times that I went there was only one waiter, and although they do come around once to ask you how you're doing, it's hard to get a hold of them when you need something. The great food and friendliness makes up for all of that though. Definitely go if you're in the area!

After seeing this Diner win for Best in some catagories, I had to try it. My friend & I go to breakfast a lot & were looking for a great place to return to. This was NOT it.... Forget parking, or plan to pay $25+ for a garage spot if you have a car. After the nice hostess seated us, we had an indifferent waitress who didnt even check if our food was OK or ask to refill the coffee once. She only came back to give us the bill. The food did not come out timely at all & was average or less than average quality. I had high expectations & boy was I let down. Maybe its better at lunch, but I wont be back to try it & would NEVER recommend it & I am in the service industry. Had the service been better, I would have overlooked the average food & tried it at least once more to be sure this was not a fluke. I am being generous to give ONE star.
