About Diner
About Diner
Diner is a neighborhood restaurant in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, located on a corner under the Williamsburg Bridge.
Opened on New Year's Eve over twenty years ago, Diner began as a small, hospitality-driven restaurant founded by owners Andrew Tarlow and Mark Firth.
Chef Caroline Fidanza established a daily menu focused on local, seasonal, sustainable ingredients and built relationships with farmers in upstate New York and surrounding regions.
Today, Diner continues that tradition with a menu that changes regularly and a warm, bar-centered dining room housed in a 90-year-old Kullman dining car, with warm wood and aged enamel.
Leadership
- Executive Chef: Jake Hetnarski
- Sous Chefs: Keith Velez and Aliza Philip
- General Manager: Melissa Allen
- Service Manager: Matt Hachisu
Diner aims to be a welcoming place for both everyday meals and special occasions, and a long-standing touchstone for the South Williamsburg neighborhood.
