Some of you may have noticed that there is a new 24-hour diner on Houston and Norfolk.  The diner is aptly named "Remedy" for all the hangover cures sought there. 

The place is decorated in typically dinner decor with a counter (complete with baked goods) and tables and booths with service.  They have a rotating, glass-encased tower of cakes near the door to catch the attention of drunk passersby.

I have been there twice, but neither time was between midnight and 6am which is probably the best time to go.

The first was for dinner and I had the salmon and spinach salad.  This was pretty good and the salmon seemed really fresh. The place was not very crowded and the service pretty good.

The second time I went was yesterday around 3pm.  I had the tuna melt with fries and coffee.  This was not so hot.  The tuna salad was made with celery and parsley, so nice and crunchy, but it was cold for a melt.  It was as if  they melted the strangely solid piece of cheese in the microwave, let it cool in a melty-like shape, and then placed it on my sandwich as you would a slice of lettuce.  

The other strange thing about the meal was the service.  The waitress was very nice and got my difficult allergy order correct, but the bus boy was sort of rude and tossed us our coffee.  But, hey, it is a diner.

Unfortunately, the prices for this diner put it in a non-diner category with diner-quality food.  This is a problem. 
I could go to one of my fav organic places for the same price.  That means that the next time I visit Remedy, I will probably be desperate and searching for any place open after 2am.
