Although this is a "diner", it is an "upscale diner." It has the traditional bustling, somewhat noisy diner quality, but it also has a touch of sophistication. The table tops are an attractive marble slab and there is a vase with fresh carnations on each table. The interior walls are mirrored and the outside walls provide a view of the street. This restaurant serves everything from breakfast items (Belgian Waffles, Pancakes, Eggs) to dinner items (Greek meals, Italian meals, Lobster Tails, Sandwiches, Salads, etc.). The 3 Star Diner offers a $9.99 Dinner Special from 4 to 10 p.m. that includes an entree, potato, and vegetable. There are 4 chicken, 4 beef, and 3 fish entrees to choose from along with some combos and specials. There is also a brunch served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a variety of omelets offered with coffee and a Mimosa or Bloody Mary for $7.95.
