OK Nov 25th, 2005
Dianne's is OK. I read another review where the writer says they are "inconsistent". I agree. VERY inconsistent with salad portions and ingredients, same with some of the pasta dishes and sandwiches. DO NOT go there for breakfast. The portions are VERY small, the potatoes are dry and the last 2 times I went there for breakfast my food was not very hot and it was not even very busy.

On the other hand, they are pretty good for lunch. Portions are enough to fill you up and the dishes I usually order are wonderful.

When they're good, they're very very good Jun 2nd, 2005
If you don't want fast food, Mexican or Chinese, Diane's is Silver's best choice for a healthy/tasty dinner. That being said, I find it highly overrated. Her lunches rate 3rd on my list, and breakfasts are just okay.

For dinner, the ingredients are fresh and meats and seafood quality. The service is usually quite good, although if really busy can be somewhat slow.

As for preparation, it just depends who's cooking and if they're really with it that night. I've had meals send my eyes rolling back in my head with everything prepared to perfection. The same meal weeks later, same cooks, very disappointing. If you're a salad person, the portions are very inconsistent - and usually quite good.

Diane's desserts are definitely the best (restaurant) desserts in town. They're creative and sometimes great, other times not to my taste. I don't see what all the fuss about the chocolate cake is. Looks aren't everything! The carrot and apple spice cakes are often overcooked and dry. I'm not a cheese cake fan, although I do love her blackberry crumble cheesecake pie.

Best Food in Silver? Aug 10th, 2004
Maybe so for lunch and dinner, but they can sure ruin a breakfast.

We ordered ham and eggs. I only wish, when I ordered slivered ham at the deli, I could get ham that thin. "Toast"? I'd be surprised if that bread had ever been in a toaster and butter? I did manage to find one spot about 1 1/2" long and about 1" wide that looked like it had been moistened with something.

My eggs over medium were ok, but the scrambled eggs for partner, were plainly yellow and white instead of beaten.

The potatoes are over cooked and mushy and just okay.

Won't be eating breakfast here anymore.

Quality Food Jun 4th, 2004
Diane's is our favorite restaurant in Silver City and we're locals. Everything is well prepared and very tasty.
Don't be in a hurry. They tend to stay busy and the speed of their service reflects it.
Diane's desserts are prepared in-house and are to die for.

Make Reservations! Apr 1st, 2003
Diane's is certainly the busiest restaurant in Silver City, and overall it's good. In fact, it was probably the best restaurant we ate in during our short stay. That said, remember this is Silver City, and good restaurants aren't thick on the ground.

For dinner, one of us had the cheese ravioli, which to our tastes had a bit too much garlic. Or maybe, the garlic should have been sauted a little bit longer making it a bit less harsh. The other had the Portabella Mushrooms. These were quite tasty, served over white beans and wilted greens. I'd order these again.

One nice thing, it was quite apparent that each dish was made when it was ordered, nothing sat on steam tables or hit the microwave so the food was fresh.

Our only complaint, is they could stand to have a few more vegetarian dishes.
