    We had the best experience here celebrating Christmas Eve! The food was incredible, the best of all the Steakhouses we have tried in CHS. The staff was so friendly, from being personally sat by the GM to our attentive waiter. No detail was overlooked and we are already thinking of our next visit back!

    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! :)
