    Food and service was great! The setting was very nice and quiet. They went above and beyond when they called me and told me that I forgot my credit card.

    We love the seafood selection at Seastar. Service was perfect…we didn’t feel rushed at all. Less than 5 stars for value, because although we had an excellent experience, prices seem quite high.

    The oysters ( Kumamoto) were very good, the hot and sour soup was great, the Chilean seabass was great and we ordered some rice with thai style red curry which was excellent. My daughter ordered Opakapaka and she said it was very good too. a nice bottle of a sommelier recommended Sauvignon Blanc completed the circle for an outstanding dining experience.

    Best sashimi I've had in a wile. Great oysters. Great wine list. And extensive non-seafood menu as well. Will please everyone. Great place to impress for business or a formal date. Its not "cozy" but very classy and will impress. Large enough for family or business dinners. It's pricey, but worth it. So glad we ate here.
