"The place is clean and I like the ambiance. The bathroom is on the 2nd floor but it was clean and had nice body size mirrors which is great for selfies. I ordered a gingerale and I’m assuming it came from a juice gun/machine because it was kind of flat. There’s a happy hour menu that ends at 7. From the happy hour menu, I ordered the duck wings and calamari. Both were tasty. There was a special for the surf and turf for $30 which was my entree. The lobster was a little mushy. The steak was tasty. They didn’t have steak sauce but it did come with a side sauce that was a good substitute. I also substituted my fries for whipped potatoes which was good. I also ordered a side of the general tso...

We opted for the specials a whole branzino and the cut of the day (flank steak). The meals were good, though the pricing is a bit high you're paying for the fancy setting. To be clear (which wasn't the case with us before arriving and sitting down) this is more or less a wine bar they are trying to sell high priced cocktails and bottles of wine and there's nothing wrong with that, but this type of atmosphere will tend to carry with it a menu with somewhat complicated options on offer everything has fennel shavings or cilantro or truffle oil or something else to make it fancy. Certainly go to this place, but do it because you're looking for a nice bottle of wine, some delicious cocktails, and...

Overall a disappointing experience. Came for restaurant week. Pros: The bar/restaurant looks pretty modern and swanky though the decor doesn't make it stand out much compared to more modern looking restaurants. the waitress was nice. I think she spoke too softly to be understood underneath the mask. Cons: the food is generally unsatisfying. We had the waffle fries, tomato bisque, wagyu burger, french onion grilled cheese, peach cobbler and black cherry cabernet sorbet. None of them stood out to me as a positive. The waffle fries were simply fries, the burger was overdone, the french onion grilled cheese was bland, the tomato bisque was basically like a canned soup, the sorbet was decent and...

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."
