    I love love love the food here, the Bread and heirloom tomato salad was amazing. I just have one issue …it was so loud in the dining area…..I didn’t mind but my 80 year old parents were a little uncomfortable. Food made up for it. We will go again just maybe on a weekend instead of Saturday night.

    This restaurant never fails to impress. When there is any excuse to go out to dinner this is our restaurant of choice. The food is always perfectly prepared and well served. We were unsure which wine to choose and made a poor choice. The server informed the wine steward and she helped us find just the right wine. Dinner was perfect.

    We really enjoyed our meal. The steaks were cooked as requested, the sides and sauces were a very good accompaniment to the steaks. We enjoyed the roasted potato appetizer which is like a fondue with a very good bacon laced dip. The wines we ordered A. Rafanelli Zinfandel and a Jordan Chardonnay which went well with our food choices. Those who ordered cocktails before and after dinner were pleased with their choices. The staff was great and very helpful directing our food choices.

    While we enjoyed our experience, there were a few issues. Our bread came out cold and we had to send it back to be reheated. I’ve had it in the past and it came out piping hot. Our server was very friendly but quite slow. Steaks were perfection, so I’ll definitely come back for that reason. The noise level is off the charts. It was difficult to have a conversation with the person sitting directly next to me.

    We loved Starks and were coming there for years for a good steak - the most recent experience was totally disappointing. The appetizers (steak tartar and bone marrow) came without toast (any) and we had to wait for them. The bread basket was delivered only after we specifically requested it (also took a lot of time). The wague beef was cooked to a wrong degree. The NY dry age was simply not tasty. Everything was way more salty than it used to be. The cocktails were mediocre… Our waiter was very accommodating and tried his best, but he could not cope with kitchen inefficiency…it is so sad to see the good restaurant loosing it is value - but not the cost.

    We tried the potato skin fondue and enjoyed it. The very generous serving was too much for two of us, but it would have been perfect for a party of four (or one teenaged boy). We had the prime filets with wine sauce. They were cooked perfectly. The side of broccolini was also perfect. The cream cheese pie was a perfect dessert to share. Service gave us the perfect feeling of being attended to rather than being watched over; we were offered what we needed or wanted before we had to ask. Even though the word "perfect" has become repetitive in this review, it's the most accurate description of our experience. And the best part - it's perfect every time we come!

    Six of us. Most dishes were excellent (potato fondue, bbq prawns, filet, scallops). Two exceptions: the lobster was very small, mealy and had a strange vinegary sauce that didn't do anything for the dish. And the rib-eye (prime) was the fattiest piece of meat I've ever seen served in a restaurant. At least 1/3 of it was fat and discarded. Nothing wrong with a little marbled fat, but this was over the top. Desserts were okay but not great. Lava cake had no lava - fairly dried out. Chocolate banana bread pudding was too chocolatey - it fought the rummy flavor of the bread pudding (maybe that's where the lava went...). Service was spotty - good at times, but poor at times - long waits between courses. This is one of our favorite restaurants, but not if we have another experience like this. Hopefully just an off night...

    We have heard of this place for years and finally got here for dinner. The hostesses were friendly and seated us right away. Our server was knowledgeable but was a little quick to take our order, before we were settled in and ready. The steak menu had several options. We asked if they had aged beef (not specified on the menu). Our server went to the kitchen and “found” some filet mignons for us. We ordered them medium rare. When they were served, they came wrapped in bacon. The menu specified an option and extra charge for bacon. We were not asked if we wanted the bacon and frankly didn’t want it and took it off. The steak itself was a good 5 inches thick, undercooked in the middle, and full of gristle. Hard to believe it was a filet. The Caesar salad we shared came with whole leaves of lettuce (more work for us) but otherwise was delicious. Side of creamed spinach was bland. Truffle fries were good. For a restaurant known as a steakhouse, it doesn’t live up to expectations. Probably won’t dine here again. Very disappointing meal.
