Such a cute and buzzy place! Amazing music, amazing views, and really good drinks. Service was attentive, the hostesses were actually spectacular and really set the tone of the evening. Food is not good at all, but honestly can't go wrong with a great cocktail spot with such wonderful decor and views, so still worth the visit. Definitely will be back!One potentially pompous note, but it really ground my gears, is that they have a drink on the menu called the 'Cable Car Redux'. When I said redux, as it is correctly pronounced, the waitress corrected me to say "re-doo" as she said it was the "french way". This is not true, my family and I are all from France and thought it was funny. It is a latin word, not of french origin, and even read aloud in French would have the "x" (although outside of science/IT this word does not exist in french, it would be translated to our equivalent). Just a cringey experience but again not a big deal, just was a nails on the chalkboard moment. As long as they don't say cog-nac instead of cognac we will be ok. :)

The view and bar design alone is enough for a visit. Didn't have any food, but drinks and atmosphere earn top marks.

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!!!
