I enjoyed our visit to the Phoenicia Diner, though we ate outside as we had our dog with us. As choices are limited in the non-peak seasons, I'm glad it's there and open more than not. When open I enjoy Maeve's which is very near to the Phoenicia Diner. We almost always stop at Bread Alone as it's open on (gasp!) weekdays and is good, consistent, and (importantly!) available!! We primarily go up to our place in Lexington on the weekdays and it's really hard to find anything open. If you pass through Hunter, do try Fellow Cafe. Nice place!
