Call me a restaurant tuna salad skeptic. There are so many things that need to be just right: the freshness of the salad, the mayo-to-tuna ratio, the bread, perfectly melted American cheese and my penchant for pickle relish.
But D’s Diner in Sebastopol is always a top choice when I’m feeling the tug of a toasted tuna sandwich.
Now, it’s even closer to home with the opening of a second D’s Diner location at 750 Stony Point Road in Santa Rosa, replacing a former Superburger spot. Owner Musa Awad has joined forces with his son, Nabih, to bring the burgers, salads, sandwiches and tasty tuna salad to the new restaurant that opened in early September.
“We’re gonna be big,” said Musa Awad of his “not-so-fast food” diner.
The new restaurant will start serving the full breakfast options available in Sebastopol at the end of the month. Don’t miss the housemade Middle Eastern-style gyros, hummus, falafel and baba ganoush, along with onion rings and housemade Ranch.
7260 Healdsburg Ave., Sebastopol, 707-829-8080; 750 Stony Point Road, Suite A-190, Santa Rosa, 707-843-3041
