Guide Review - Ellen's Stardust Diner

Ellen’s Stardust Dinner has good food, but what makes it really special is the waitstaff. New York is full of actors waiting tables while waiting for their big break. Ellen's hires some of the best and gives them a chance to perform. In between taking car of you, the waitstaff sing and dance around the diner putting on a great show.

The food is good too. Unfortunately the portions are large which means I never have room for one of the fabulous desserts that you see in the cold case when you walk in the door. This place is not only good for dinner, but a great place to come after a show for dessert.
