Corning, NY - August 18, 2010 - Corning's Gaffer District is proud to recognize Café London, recently awarded a Three-Diamond Rating by AAA.
A well-respected rating system for restaurants throughout North America, the AAA Diamonds-rated eateries must meet a number of requirements based on cleanliness, comfort, security, safety and quality. Rated restaurants are awarded diamonds based on feedback from industry experts and traveling members, and all restaurants with an AAA rating are approved based on the standards developed for the program. The explanation for a Three-Diamond rating is included below:
From the AAA website:
A three Diamond restaurant often employs a professional chef and a supporting staff of highly-trained cooks. The menu is skillfully prepared and often reflects interpretations of the latest trends or a mastering of traditional cuisine. Typically, there are expanded offerings of beverages in complement to the menu, such as international/regional wines, specialty beers, cocktails and soft drinks. A professional dining room manager leads a complement of efficient service staff. The service reflects some degree of refinement, such as reservations accepted, personal assistance or the ability to adapt to the guest's specific needs. The décor reflects the use of well-coordinated design mediums that provide a distinct theme and good comfort. Restaurants at this level convey an entry into fine dining and are often positioned as an adult-oriented experience.
Owners Julie and Martin Mariner are honored by the distinction. "Since we've been in business in Corning, we've made service and quality a top priority," notes Marty Mariner. Julie continues, "We're delighted to be recognized by this well-respected system and we and our fine staff look forward to continue serving locals and visitors."
