Beautiful decor, very good cocktails and fantastic music / DJ. Makes for a special part of any night out. Could definitely improve on the food options though and would love to see the wait staff more engaged and attentive.

Large party Seated comfortably. Gorgeous ambiance. Great service. Menu offerings for food were well executed and very delicious. Cocktails and drinks were delicious and presented well. Music was great- vibe was very classy and comfortable.

We had a fabulous birthday celebration for 11. With this size needed contract which was a bit messy to finalize. We loved our cozy section, service was incredible , food was scrumptious. DJ music was fun. Just wish they open the front room to dance like old times . Dance area is , dark , small and you feel like you're in a walkway or just in the way. Otherwise, great place to celebrate.

Starlite has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a sophisticated and trendy destination, unlike its previous incarnation. The ambiance exudes class, with an upbeat and elegant atmosphere that captivates patrons from the moment they step inside.The drinks are exceptional, offering a delightful array of flavors and concoctions to tantalize the taste buds. The DJ sets the perfect tone, delivering a pulse-pounding soundtrack that keeps the energy levels high throughout the night.Having visited multiple times since the remodeling, it's clear that Starlite's previous status as a forgotten, run-down establishment is a thing of the past. Kudos to the hotel for recognizing its potential and breathing new life into this once-dormant gem.Cheers!

We used to come here all the time pre-COVID, and was very excited to see the new re-opening with updated interior design. Came in on Thursday night and right when the elevators opened we were greeted by the nicest staff and James Brown was playing the background. I mean who doesn't love to hear James Brown as you walk into a trendy spot. The interior was modern and tasteful. The staff was warm and accommodating. The drinks were well-balanced and made well. Definitely excited to come back with family/friends and clients!

Music was soo loud, we couldn't hear ourselves talk. We asked if they could turn it down but they said no. We ultimately left bc we legit couldn't hear it each other talk. Disappointed!!!

Thought we would try this out as it just re-opened. Music was horrible and loud. We couldn’t hear what each other were saying let alone our server. The drinks are all of your favorite drinks with some horrible twist to them. Like if you ordered them from a genie and were not specific enough. The food was over priced and calling it mediocre would be a favor. I want to be clear that this is a tourist trap. Please do not judge the rest of SF on this place. They do have an amazing view. Go up had one cheap drink and then move to another please.

Tourist trap. That is how I would describe this place. It should be at the wharf but the bubs Gumps has better food. Service way off. Couldn't order anything after our first order to save our life. Food was bland and I have had better food from hole and the wall places. The music was so loud and so far off it was stupid. They are blaring a volume for maybe 20 year olds but playing music from 1991. Drink were horrible. They take your favorite and add some weird twist. You expect this drink and pay the $20-$22 to find out it is not what you wanted. The waitress also kept pressing a bottle that would cost you $9 at BevMo but they are charging $108. Go here, buy a bud light, see the view and then leave.

Yessss so happy the Starlite reopened! The cocktails were fab and the view is wonderful as always. The DJ was spinning super fun beats on vinyl. A San Francisco classic has been reborn again! Make a reservation because it gets packed fast!
