I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'upmarket diner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'tory sabre rattling' is the wordplay.
'rattling' is an anagram indicator (letters rattle around).
'tory'+'sabre'='torysabre'
'torysabre' with letters rearranged gives 'OYSTER BAR'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for oyster bar that I've seen is " eatery".)
