First time here. Very well prepared food. Service was on point. Drinks and wine selection are extensive and delicious. The space is kind of strange layout. Value was not great but still fantastic meal.

This was my 2nd time going to Starling and I can’t say there was one thing that I didn’t like. The service is excellent, but the real gold is in the food. Green beans are my FAV.💗
