starlite

really enjoyed the atmosphere and food here. it is a fun place to go. ironically the one
problem we had was with the drinks. one
if us ordered an old fashion which he has had made in many places and he couldn'tdrinkthis one, saying it was the worst he'd ever had. i ordered a negroni which they brought with a lemon wedge and it's made with an orange wedge. a minor point but just seemed odd at a bar lounge where good cocktails are touted. we did enjoy ourselves, the food, good service and the ambiance.

i’m not much of a ‘dive’ bar kinda gal. i don’t reallydrinkbeer and the dive bars i’ve been to in the past have been really dark, depressing, and old. i’m more of a bar-in-a-nice-restaurant kinda gal i guess. my friends call me charlotte (from sex in the city) because i tend to be conservative, proper, and uptight (shocking, i know). friends first introduced me to starlite some years ago. i didn’t want to go. i kept telling them i cannot do a dive bar. that i would pass out if they took me to dive bar. and it didn’t help that starlite is located on india street (about 8 minutes from the airport actually). so why the heck would i want to go there. we had just finished watching a movie at the gaslamp so starlite wasn’t that far away. and friends assured me that i would like this place.

san diego has a good amount of neighborhood restaurants that serve high-quality comfort food that are tasty and skillfully made and starlite is one of them. great menu with vegeterian and carnivours choices that are sure to please. thedrinkmenu is ridiculosly good and the desert (homemade ice cream sandwhich) completed a delicious evening. whatever they're doing i hope they don't change.
