A following review of the diner may be found on the internet: "Previously known as the Blue Water Diner, [this restaurant was] reopened in Nov 2001 as the Big Star Diner. The food and service at my most recent meal were top notch, and the beautiful restoration work must be seen to be believed. I am glad the hard work put in by Al Packard can still be enjoyed by the residents of Bainbridge and Seattle in this classic diner."
