"Incredibly overpriced, especially considering the service. Usually when I’m served a Caesar to share it comes with some kind of sharing utensils, and people often ask if I want fresh cracked black pepper. We waited quite a while until we saw the server again to ask for the pepper after the Caesar was dropped off. The pepper was ground as fine as could be, not nice and chunky and still, no utensils to share were offered, so we just scraped it off of the larger bowl onto our smaller bowls… No chopsticks available for the poki, and since they also sell a sliced tuna, one might expect them to serve both of those dishes with chopsticks.The Caesar lettuce was nice and crunchy, but there were no actual croutons, just powdered croutons, and no Freshly Grated Parmesan flakes, just powdered Parmesan, and some other powdered yellow cheese. The dressing didn’t have a garlic kick or any distinctive anchovy taste….If I’m going to buy food that cost over $100 for an entrée, I want fresh baked croutons and high-quality freshly shaved Parmesan, with an offering of more Parmesan, shaved directly onto my salad and fresh cracked black pepper ground on top table-sideI honestly don’t mind paying a Valet, receiving mediocre service, food, or accommodations, but when they’re trying to sell an iced shellfish tower over $200 and $140 steaks, I would really expect much more.We left after an appetizer and a salad.If this had been a special occasion, like an anniversary or birthday, or if I was eating at a place that I usually couldn’t afford, but was splurging on a date, I would’ve been furious… I literally just left, knowing that they just scam everybody who goes through the hotel and no one cares.Tailor made for:The kind of clientele who has just enough money to splurge, but not enough money to have the sense required to say no to a bad experience.. I estimate their guests are averaging six figures, but not much more.Postscript: I did not even order the lobster bisque I really wanted, because I’ve had incredible lobster bisque, and I was certain it would be foolish to order it…Parking: Valet is for the hotel AND the dinner guests, so good luck getting your car on time, and the server did not ask to take my valet ticket up to the valet, when I asked for for my check."

"Starshines is like no other local restaurant. Starshines has made its presence known as the premier dining experience to hit the Henry County restaurant scene! The sophisticated and modern farm-to-table restaurant located right on McDonough Square offers indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you are dining with that special someone for date night dinner or enjoying Sunday brunch with the family, Starshines has something for everyone. The food is flawless, the flavors were so direct, the point of each dish so lucid, that the minor annoyance of the occasional shouting from inside the kitchen melted away. As always, the service is impeccable, from the hostess to the server and manager. Servers are knowledgeable when it comes to the menu and attentive throughout the entire dining experience. Noise level is reasonable and ambiance is hip and trendy with the dozens of Edison bulb fixtures hanging from the ceiling. The only consistent deficiency is the bar service. Upon each visit at Starshines, even when ordering immediately upon arrival, the food has been served to the table before the drinks which is disappointing to a person who loves to enjoy a few cocktails or glasses of wine and conversation leading up to the entree. Cocktails were delicious but seriously lacking in volume. A maybe four ounce serving of a Manhattan was served in a six to eight inch tall highball glass making the experience unimpressive. Similarly, the limoncello martini was served with the already tiny rounded martini glass half empty. Consistent and efficient bartenders are essential for retaining customers. Overall always a fantastic experience."
