"Fashioned in chrome and neon like a 1940s vintage diner car, Beginners Diner is headed by chef Ted Smith. The menu pairs boozy milkshakes with elevated diner fare including wagyu sirloin steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy with housemade sausage, and Jewish deli classics like matzo ball soup and pickled herring." - Candice Woo
