Chef Ype! 
We were present opening night at the new West Alex outpost, the 18th Silver Diner location. It was easy to get from the garage to diner, and our server (Levi) provided great service.
Northern Virginia is still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic (unless you ask someone at a bar in Clarendon). Occupied tables were spread out, servers wore masks, and they have a 3-level, Hospital-Grade Air Purification System (ultraviolet light in the ACs, air purifiers in dining room, ultraviolet light fixtures to clean surfaces overnight). Silver Diner (in all locations) provides delivery, outdoor seating, contact-less pickup, and limited indoor seating.
The new menu items, Lemony Chickpea Hummus and Cauliflower Pita, and Cucumber-Mint-Lemonade were both wonderful additions that we would order again. The steak, burger, and sides were all well-executed as usual. The veggie of the day was winter squash, Brussels sprouts, and beets. We both ordered sweet potato fries
Local Flat Iron Steak 
Beef Burger with Bacon
Lemony Chickpea Hummus 
Chicken Noodle Soup
They have a vegan ice cream option and almond whipped cream for those of you avoiding dairy.
We will of course return to Silver Diner for their excellent menu choices and well-sourced high quality ingredients. The menu is available here.
