Speaking of reservations, we always highly recommend making them early. This time of year, people are really planning ahead - if you're looking to come in on a Friday or Saturday between 6:00 and 7:00, I recommend calling at least a week out. That said, last minute plans always have a chance of working out - don't hesitate to give us a call ANYtime to see what's available.
Lastly, yes, we are still all-outdoors. We have not yet set a date for moving back inside. This has a lot more to do with becoming progressively used to the idea of having 1/3 more seats outside than we could ever fit inside than current "government regulations". The logistics of having both outdoor and indoor simply aren't possible in our space, so if it has to be one or the other, we're taking "bigger" as long as the weather allows. However, I'm still watching developments with the delta variant very closely and feel much safer having everyone outside, not to mention more distanced than we could allow for inside. At this time, masks continue to be optional for vaccinated guests & staff.
Take a step back in time with contemporary food in a nostalgic setting.
We can't wait to make your next special evening a night you'll never forget!
(Updated July 21st)
We are currently offering outdoor dining, on our covered patio. Following the most recent mask mandates, we are now only asking that unvaccinated guests wear masks. Our staff has been fully vaccinated & are now going mask-free. If you prefer to have a masked server, just mention it to me (Kate) while making your reservation & it will be taken care of, no problem!
We are continuing to offer minimal Carry Out with Curbside Pick Up -With people getting out more and feeling more comfortable dining out, we've seen a fantastic increase in "on-site" dining. This has resulted in having to scale back our carry out program.
How to place a Carry Out Order:
1. Call several days in advance (at least) and reserve a pick-up time, between 5:15 and about 8:00pm
2. On the day of, call or email your order in before 4:00. At this time, payment can be made over the phone - but we're happy to take payment at pick up, as well
As soon as we can get you ALL in here again (safely!) we WILL. In the meantime, the weather is gorgeous & our outdoor patio is almost as quaint as our indoor dining rooms. For those truly curious - the main reason we're continuing outdoor dining is that it affords us about 1/3 more seats than we ever had inside - and people were practically on top of each other inside! We don't have the kitchen capacity to do both indoor and outdoor (and no options for expansion). Lastly, everything has been completely rearranged to make serving outside possible, logistically, and we'd have to close for several days to flip/flop again. So, while business is this good, we're sticking with what works. As soon as "what's working" ceases to work, we'll change strategies again. We've been doing it for the last 4 1/2 years, why stop now?
Feel free to shoot me an email with any questions / suggestions or good jokes you want to share!

“This is my favorite dish when I visit the lovely Star Diner and I find it incredibly difficult to veer away from these flavors to try their other tempting dishes, but when I am strong enough to do so, my belly has no regrets!”
“Absolutely delicious, the best sea bass I have ever tasted! Wish I could visit this wonderful restaurant everyday!”
“The brussel sprouts were DELICIOUS!! perfectly crispy and just enough salt, it was a good starter to split. Highly recommend!”
“I come every year to stay at my friend's home in Barnard and Star Diner is my gift to myself. I bring my 3 boys ( who adore it too ) . There are so many phenomenal dishes but the sea bass is spiced perfectly and I daydream about trying at again !”
“My first impression of Star Diner was great from the start, we communicated with the owner via email about last minute reservations on the 4th of July. She was great to chat with and when we actually got to the establishment it was exactly what we wanted. It's don't let the term diner mislead you, it is anything but that. Everything from the filet, sea bass and flatbread was amazing. If you are even close to Marshall this is a must. It's all outside currently but we were lucky with great weather and lasting memory of a man unforgettable time in Marshall. Thanks for a great birthday lunch for my wife, we appreciate it.”
