Starlight Cafe and Farm

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.

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.

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!

Thank you to our server Nina who made our special celebration AMAZING! The food and service was superb! Chef Toby, thank you for stopping by, your food is outstanding. Susan, thank YOU for stopping by our table as well to ensure we were having a stellar experience. The appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages were delicious. Making another reservation right now! Highly recommend this establishment when in Greenville, NC. My new "must dine" location! Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

The atmosphere and wait staff were amazing!!! Great craft cocktails and unique farm to table rotating menu!

Stopped in on a trip to Edenton; Kelly was magnificent as the server. She made excellent recommendations. Had a last minute old fashioned with tequila that was out of this world. Met an old friend and Kelly recommended the outside area. It was an awesome experience! Too bad I live in Alabama; would like to try more of the seasonal cocktails and some of the other food!

The funny thing is… I’ve ALWAYS wanted to eat here… I mean for YEARS; then I finally got the opportunity to dine inside and now, I have absolutely NO intentions to go back (talk about a disappointment). The food was okay (I could do with/without it). The male server we had was very friendly and so were a couple of the greeters (which is why they were given a star). It could’ve been two stars because the steak wasn’t bad (but the salad was gross and had wayyy too much vinaigrette on it and the fries tasted like they’d been fried in old grease or baked in a dirty oven), but the worst of it were the attitudes of the the ladies behind the bar… they were ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! I approached the bar to ask for a take-out plate for my co-worker and they looked at me as if I were speaking in tongues! Our server happened to walk up behind me (as I was asking for the plate) and he gladly helped but prior to him helping, they didn’t even say A WORD to me, they just looked at me, then pointed to him…gesturing for me to ask him (how rude and unprofessional could they be?) It was already cold inside the restaurant and those cold attitudes made it seem even colder. This is not the warm and inviting environment I imagined it to be. I’m so happy I didn’t bring my children to this establishment!

This was not a terrible experience, but it certainly wasn't an experience, but beyond the ambiance I was not impressed with the food. My date had the shrimp and grits, which she said she enjoyed. But it was a very small portion. My burger was not cooked to my request of medium, but instead was brought to table very well done. Not at all flavorful and the fancy 'frites' did not impress. They were OK, but nothing better than what I could have found from a frozen bag somewhere. I went to this restaurant expecting something a bit more, especially considering the prices. Was sorely disappointed. We also had the cheeses plate. Very small, just a few slices of cheese and again I was not impressed. We also had to ask for refills on our club soda, something I don't expect to have to do in what purports to be a high scale restaurant. This was my second experience, and the first was not much better. Doubt I will be going back.

20/10. We got the raw oysters, duck stroganoff, shrimp and grits , and the lemon/cracker-crust dessert. Everything was delicious, the service was perfect, and the organic bottle of sauv blac was one of my favorites I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come 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.
