    Eric was very helpful with my gluten allergies. My husband ordered Shrimp and Grits and the waiter recommended the mini versus dinner size portion which is quite large. My Risotto and scallops were delicious. The Pear salad was quite good and was plentiful with cranberries, gorgonzola and toasted pecans. The ambiance was delightful with a piano man playing Christmas Carols.

    When you make a reservation at establishment like this, you expect the food to be good. It was. It was excellent. Now here are the small things. The ambience is outstanding. The server was extremely knowledgeable. Everything that we had came together like a symphony. The manager came to the table and offered us a glass of cava for our anniversary The price point equates to the quality of the food. From The service to the ambience this restaurant gets it and as a former restaurant owner, I appreciate the fact that they not only put out great food. They paid attention to all of the small details.

    My group and I had the BEST time at Stars! It was my first time in Charleston and this dinner as the last - really did save the best for last! Miguel the head Chef came over to share some insights of the menu/offerings and we were not disappointed by any of the dish. Each one was thoughtfully done, perfectly cooked and seasoned uniquely with seasonal + locally sourced ingredients. Our server Dakota was outstanding as well and Anna was awesome too. Truly was an amazing experience and I will definitely be back next time I visit! :)
