The St. Claire was perfect. Just an old diner. Totally reliable. My husband I started going there when we started dating 17 years ago. Our five year old loved it too. The waitresses were absolute characters.
It was so old school the Costas family had their mother, still in her mourning black, working there. The kolokopithita(sp?) was delicious. I've never seen it anywhere else.
We went in the day before it closed and they gave us one of the fake fish on the wall.

We'll treasure it forever.
