Pleasantville Diner, Pleasantville, NY

This is a good place to have a bite while talking over the movie you've just seen at the Jacob Burns. The menu is enormous, but simple preparations are better. My Greek-style roast chicken was a tender half chicken with a nice garlic, lemon and parsley sauce. Dinner included a big Greek salad with romaine, feta, tomato, olives, cucumber, onion and dolma, all very fresh; roast potatoes, mashed potatoes (two kinds of spuds? go figure!), and steamed veg. I opted to skip the bread basket the waiter offered. Even without it, I took home enough leftovers for two more meals. Cooked veg are the diner's downfall: They look nice and bright and fresh, but are soggy and tasteless. The menu includes a big selection of meal-size salads with grilled chicken or fish. Based on the Greek salad that came with dinner, I'm likely to choose from that page on my next visit.
