Delicious lunch and excellent service from their top-notch hostess and waitress. Wish I would have got their names. I was excited to try some FINNISH PANCAKES (kind of like crepes) and they didn’t disappoint.
My wife got a burger, fry, and pie and was happy with her choice also.
Wish I could go back and try the putin!

Always great service. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Great breakfasts always. The pancakes are obviously a big draw but their French toast is a hidden treasure. Niva’s is too expensive to visit more than sparingly, however. Shockingly expensive.

Lovely local breakfast diner. The staff is wonderful and friendly. I wasn't too sure about having their desserts and said I would skip them because of my peanut allergy so our server went the extra mile and had their kitchen staff come talk to me and reassured me that their desserts would be ok for me and that they don't use peanuts/peanut butter in the kitchen.

This little diner is clearly a local fave, which is great. We went for the Finnish pancakes, which were delicious. It's a little pricey for the overall atmosphere and quality. Could do with new carpet and some other updates. Family friendly.

I beg to differ regarding the gravy. I rarely eat restaurant gravy as most is made from a powdered gravy base. Niva’s is actually made from the protein’s drippings. I’m not a big eater so when I go there I eat all the fries with their wonderful gravy and get the hot turkey to go. I then have another two meals. One as half a hot turkey and the other as a sandwich with the gravy drenched bread (( stuffing ) and cranberry sauce…mmmm. In all fairness to the negative reviewer I have yet to try the hot beef…or anything else as I can’t get beyond my love of the turkey…and you can request white or dark meat…unusual for most restaurants.
