    The service at Starlite was impeccable and the drinks were a 10/10. However, we found the food to be slightly over-seasoned and very salty, especially the roasted broccoli. However, we will be back for the drinks!

    Everything was perfect, except that when we arrived, we had to wait half an hour to get a table even though we already had a reservation.
