Carpaccio is a really good starter. Flounder almondine melts in your mouth, pork chop was tender and jucey and the collards that come with it, though not like the ones my mother made, were surprisingly excellent! Chocolate cake was a great way to finish.

TLDR: Farm to table, higher end restaurant that would be good for a date but horrible for families. I asked some locals at a *very* nearby brewery for their recommendations for dinner, and several said Starlight. They mentioned farm to table, higher end, and slightly pricey in their description. I would say that was accurate. The ambience is definitely "date night". Walking bass 3 piece jazz playing on the speakers, limited (but craft) beer offerings, and a small menu with most entrees in the upper $20 to low $40 range. Honestly, it was good food and a nice atmosphere, but felt just a tiny bit pretentious. The service was good, the flounder was delicious, and it was a nice experience. If you were looking for a nice dinner as a couple or to impress a date, I'd highly recommend Starlight. If you're on a budget or dining with children, it's definitely not your place.

An amazing dining experience. It’s worth the visit just for the collard greens. Tobias is an amazing chef, and this is quite the finest of establishments.

Absolutely Horrible! Was going to a show next door and we Waited 10 min for a server to acknowledge us . Got up and walked out . Just because we are in tshirt and jeans doesn't mean we do not have the ability to pay .

Jana was a wonderful waitress. She allowed us to split meals, attentive and original Halloween costume; "kiss the cook". The burger I had was generous in portion, cooked to request. The salads were flavorful. The atmosphere was comfortable. Worth my money and multiple visits. Also, loved the frites. I forgot to ask if they make Belgian mayo for.the frites.
This is the place to go in Greenville NC for oysters and craft cocktails. Lovely atmosphere and the owner comes by to greet patrons. My husband's steak was sun par, but maybe you don't order steak in a place that specializes in seafood. Deducted 1 star for that reason.

Ambiance was very nice.Service and greeting was very warm.But my steak was tough and honestly not cooked correctly.Fries slightly overdone. Expected better quality for a $36 steak.My wife however had the fried oysters which were perfect.

Starlight has become a weekly go to for me since moving to Greenville, you can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Food is always spectacular and the customer service is even better. Last night Nina was our server and she was WONDERFUL, despite having a severe food allergy she made me feel at ease and was very knowledgeable on how to handle the situation. 10/10!!!!Dietary restrictions: I have a severe food allergy and despite the allergens being present on their menu the staff always goes above and beyond to re assure me they are taking necessary steps to prevent any cross contamination.
