**Starshines: A Culinary Gem in McDonough** Starshines, a promising farm-to-table restaurant in McDonough, delights with its exceptional food and inviting atmosphere. Diners rave about the vibrant flavors of dishes like maple cranberry French toast and seared scallops, and the attentive staff makes guests feel at home. However, several patrons noted issues with inconsistent service, such as delayed drink orders and mismanaged reservations. While the food quality impresses, concerns about dining temperature and pricing have also emerged. Despite these discrepancies, Starshines remains a recommended spot for those seeking a fresh dining experience, showcasing culinary excellence within the community.
The food is exceptional, with clear and direct flavors that shine through each dish, making any minor distractions, like occasional noise from the kitchen, easy to overlook. The service is consistently excellent, from the warm welcome at the hostess stand to the attentive servers and the accommodating manager. The staff is well-informed about the menu and attentive throughout your meal. The atmosphere is lively and stylish, with trendy Edison bulb lighting adding to the charm. However, the bar service could use improvement. During each visit to Starshines, I’ve noticed that food often arrives at the table before the drinks, which is disappointing for those who enjoy sipping cocktails or wine while engaging in conversation before their meal. While the cocktails are tasty, they are also notably small; for instance, a Manhattan is served in a tall highball glass but only fills about four ounces, making the experience feel underwhelming. Similarly, the limoncello martini was served half-empty in a petite martini glass. Reliable and efficient bartenders are essential for keeping customers coming back. Despite this one issue, my overall experience at Starshines has always been fantastic.
The food was excellent, but the portions were a bit large. The service was exceptional, even with our server training a new employee. It's great to have another fantastic restaurant in the square.
I always have a fantastic meal at Starshines. Tonight, the highlights were the lobster bisque and the seared scallops. Their cocktails are both creative and delicious. The staff are consistently welcoming, and Ash makes you feel like you're part of the family.
The service was great and the food was even better. So I tried the maple cranberry French toast and OMG that was so damm good. The truffle fries and the shrimp And grits was bussin! The servers and attendees are very very nice and hospitable. Definitely recommend this place if you are in Henry County
