Go here to drink and get drunk. This is not a restaurant. The only reason they serve food is because it is required by law. You will smell like a cigarette after you leave.

The fact that the menu is 8 pages long should be your first red flag. There's way too much on the menu for them to get much, if any of it right. Not only was the food terrible (stay away from the Cuban platter, the pork was dry and I had to choke it down with a syrupy margarita, void of any tequila) the wait staff was rude and inattentive. I don't want to be pestered all night but some updates on when our food would be arriving would've been nice. The place wasn't that crowded and we still waited over an hour for our food. I'll never give this place another chance to see if it's even a good watering hole. Our server couldn't even tell us what beers were on tap. What a dump.
Pros: It was open on Memorial Day
Cons: Food and staff

I like how the "Crab Bennie" says on the menu that the crab cake is served with lump crabmeat and Canadian bacon. The truth is that it is served with frozen smashed cheap claw meat and sliced sandwich ham (the kind that is all blended together then reformed as a ball then cooked) not the real stuff, which is taken from the lean, tender eye of the loin. Not to mention I have a feeling that the hollandaise sauce came from a can. An egg Mc.Muffin would have been better and more honest. I just think when you take your hard earned money and decide to go out, you should get what the menu says you are ordering.
Pros: drinking spot
Cons: food

Great place to release steam from the office(i hate LQ's). Love the plain philly cheese steak w/ potato salad. Good place for crowd watching. Great Service-I miss my girl Kat.
Pros: vodka and cranberry, carrie,
Cons: no more Kat

Starlite has always been one of my favorite FAN bars. It's a bar first -- a smoky, crowded place filled with cool 20-somethings on nights and weekends. It's a restaurant second -- the food is decent, especially the chicken starlite. During lunch, you might even run into grandpa.
Pros: good food, good people watching, inexpensive
Cons: crowded, smoky, long wait for seating

If you are looking for great food and a quiet evening, this ain't the place. Food is decent but not extraordinary. However, if you want to have a few adult beverages and party with the young, pierced and tatooed crowd not a bad place. Enjoy having a beverage here on a regular basis. Bartenders are a laugh riot and do a great job.
Pros: drinks
Cons: food
