Amazing chefs they do gluten-free for celiac disease. Absolutely love this place had a great great brunch. Everything on the menu looks so good. I had the shot shashukah. It was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place. Ask for Joey great server.

Overall experience was nice for a night out with my girls! The service was great and the atmosphere was modern/chic and cozy. Atlantic Salmon (4/5): the salmon was moist, there was plenty of sauce (I’m a sauce connoisseur) and the zucchini paired well. I would have appreciated something fresh to help cut the heaviness of the dish. However; it was still a light and tasty dish! I also ordered a piece of their focaccia on the side to get all the sauce Pappardelle (4/5): Made with gluten free pasta for our gluten free friend! It was a good cream sauce dish, can’t go wrong here. Beef Tenderloin (4/5): Other than the beef being a little overdone than requested, the dish was also very good! Baked Rigatoni Alla Vodka (4/5): spicier than I am used to with vodka pastas but still good for those that have any spicy tolerance higher than mine (spice level: 3/5) Oysters (4/5): Decently sized! I just wish the lemons were cut into wedges rather than slices. Pumpkin Spice Flan (4/5): Creamy, smoothie and reminds me of fall Fall ‘set’ Cheesecake (4/5): A deconstructed cheesecake with bourbon soaked cherries. The cheese part of the cake was almost a whipped texture and the crumble was good! I wish the cheese part would have been a bit more solid and I would have appreciated more of the cherry ‘sauce’ on the plate. I would recommend this place to friends and would go again!

An Unforgettable Dining Experience My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Starling, and it was an experience we won’t soon forget. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the modern and stylish atmosphere. The decor was chic and contemporary, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that made us feel happy. The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations, making us feel truly valued as guests. Now, let’s talk about the food – it was absolutely extraordinary! The dishes were unlike anything we had ever tasted before. Each plate was a delightful surprise, bursting with unique flavors and creative combinations. The presentation was stunning, and every bite was a culinary adventure. We were particularly impressed with how the chef managed to blend familiar ingredients in such innovative ways, resulting in a meal that was both delicious and out of the ordinary. I was even more impressed because all my plates where gluten free. Overall, our experience at Starlin. was nothing short of exceptional. The modern atmosphere, top-notch service, and incredibly delicious food made for a memorable evening that we will cherish. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu!
