Clevel is our favorite restaurant. The food is always superb. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The views are fabulous. I usually order the ahi stack which is absolutely fantastic. The ahi is fresh and the crab, avocado and mango augment both its flavor and texture. The sauce has changed from year to year (There was a time when the ahi was seared but if you requested unseared, the chef complied), but the dish remains my favorite. My other favorite is lobster mac and cheese. It is sinfully delicious, and I am one of the people who can easily devour it in one sitting. The times I haven’t (I am a slow eater) I have finished my “doggie bag” as soon as I arrived home! The rest of the menu is also superb; I have tasted most dishes. But these two are my absolute favorites.

We were there for our 50th Anniversary. Our daughter recommended this restaurant to us. My wife and I had an outstanding experience at your restaurant. Our server was very attentive and efficient. He made our 50th memorable and exquisite. The food was outstanding with incredible flavor and presentation. Possible one of our most pleasurable dining experiences of our life. Thank you Herb and Wood.

    We had such an amazing experience at Starlite! My fiancé and I went to celebrate our 4-year anniversary, and everything was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! They even surprised us with complimentary glasses of champagne, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. Our waitress, Christina, was AMAZING! She was super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything throughout the night. She really made sure we had a great experience. And the food? SO delicious!! We honestly loved everything! The food, the service, and the atmosphere made our anniversary dinner even more special. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend Starlite, and a huge thank you to Christina for taking such great care of us! ❤️
