“ Starlight Cafe and Farm is a great local spot that provides a great ambience and great food. Their tapas trio is great to start and the steak is always on point. As stated the ambience is perfect for all occasions including date night or big groups. Their cocktails are delicious as well. A rotating seasonal menu that always delivers, this is a great sport for friends, families, and date nights. My family usually goes once a month! ”
“ This is the place to go in Greenville NC for oysters and craft cocktails. Lovely atmosphere and the owner comes by to greet patrons. My husband's steak was disappointing, maybe you don't order steak in a place that specializes in seafood. Deducted 1 star for that reason. ”
“ Another amazing evening spent at Starlight. We started our experience with almost every appetizer available. At the table we had the pork belly, tuna poke, oysters, and every cheese available. There was not a leftover bite. A variety of cocktails were thoroughly enjoyed over the course of the evening. My steak was perfection, just as they have all been over the course of many years that I have visited this establishment. All of the ingredients are fresh and there is a clear emphasis on staying local. The ambience and service is consistently impeccable even now when restaurants are coming off a LONG year and a half. Starlight is a forever favorite and I am so grateful for their contributions to our community. ”
“ Truly my favorite restaurant in ALL of eastern North Carolina. Truly a gem with seasonal offerings and wonderful humans working there! ”
“ Great restaurant in downtown Greenville with local sourced foods. Fresh and delicious with great service and ambience ”
“ Such a memorable night out! Great service and a warm atmosphere. The food was incredible!! Everything we tried was amazing. Would definitely recommend the imperial oysters. We’re from out of town but I wish we could eat here every night. We’ll be back!! ”
“ My boyfriend and I went here for our valentine’s weekend dinner. Their food is so lovely and delicious! I got the Key West Lemonade and The Hemingway. Would definitely recommend trying them. They have a new vegetarian entree everyday and the one I got was delectable. Overall, we got elegant food, and lovely window view & awesome service! I would also suggest making a reservation. ”
“ If you’re ever in Greenville, come for the cocktails and stay for the food. Our night started off with a WOW! with our drinks. I had the drink special - a blood orange old fashioned and my hubby got the Manhattan Montenegro. Both fantastic and tasted like two. Unfortunately we were in desperate need of comfort food so our meal selection was more limited but not at all disappointing. We started with the oysters Rockefeller and finished with the burger. The oysters were super fresh, including the spinach. If I had to be critical I would say that the spinach overwhelmed the oyster, but the flavor was still good. The burger was lick-your-fingers delish. I have to say , the apple compote really made it. The owner described it as “upscale ketchup” and just added a certain je ne sais quoi that really put this burger over the top. Again, if I have to be critical, I would say the fries were a little limp, but it wouldn’t keep me from coming back to this little gem. A farm to table restaurant that actually owns their own farm? Definitely worth the try. Thanks to our waitress Sophie who guided us along our comfort food experience. ”
