Its a new venture for the family that operates Gene's Seafood at University & Hendricks. I've heard good things about the new cafe and would be surprised if it wasn't good.

Monday Menu: The Corner Diner

....The menu features New England clam chowder, white truffle balsamic glazed salmon, fried Mayport shrimp, pan-seared ahi tuna salad and a fried, blackened or grilled mahi sandwich.

The uncommon selections on the menu were based on research after the lease for the restaurant was signed.

"We drove around Downtown and figured out you can get a sandwich on every corner. We wanted to offer customers something new and different," said York.

Also on the lunch menu are Southern-style ribs, chicken pot pie and daily specials that might be a fried fish po' boy or a burger with Swiss cheese and a portabella mushroom. Meat loaf and fried chicken are other possibilities for the daily specials.

"Not a lot of places Downtown serve real meals for lunch. It's easy for us because that's what we know," said Crews.

"We also serve chicken salad, tuna salad, pulled pork and sub sandwiches because that's what people want sometimes," said York.

For the past week or so this place has been closed down, no sign indicating a holiday vacation or anything.  I hope these guys didn't give up after only a few months..  ?  Does anybody know anything?

[tufsu1]

It has not been closed down to my knowledge...in fact I had dinner there last Thursday night...and it was quite good
