Star Lounge

I so wanted to love this place! It seems so cool! I still like it but..it's so loud for a lounge!!! I came here with my wife soon after they opened and we had a magical late night cocktail, food, etc. It was beautiful. I loved all the staff and the chef, especially the veg*n friendly options 5/5 ❤️ I kept wanting to come back. We came back a few months later for a date night, during I guess busy times on a Thursday dinner session at 7pm, and it was SO loud we literally couldn't hear anything. Something about the acoustics in the room may be messed up or something. It ruined the whole date instantly. Maybe we are just old. We left almost immediately. And by 'almost immediately' I mean we asked to leave after we ordered the first thing and then waited the 30 or so mins it took to check us out. I felt like we were a bit rude leaving after ordering one thing without explanation but still. We have never done this ever before. Maybe we are getting old and grumpy but maybe this place is just too loud. To be determined and your mileage may vary on it. I wouldn't recommend it for a date night any longer if you are in your thirties or older and like your hearing. Food is great. The appetizers seem really cool and unique. Drinks are great. Bourbon/whiskey selection is pretty good! I didn't try the mixed drinks but they looked good as well. I can't complain about anything except the noise that I'm still hearing in my ears. Louder than a Kings game.

Atmosphere: Dark, loud, cramped, large group tables and low cocktail tables with uncomfortable chairs. Beautiful decor otherwise. Food: Meh. Typical higher end common bites done well enough at twice the price. Fees are added at the end of the meal. Service: Waitress was good. She couldn't list any whiskeys. The one she suggested is not what i got. But the drinks were crafted very well. Stacked pricing. $14 drink with a $4 fee to add vermouth. I won't go again or recommend, but it was a good experience about what to avoid. Requiring staff to know their alcohol is so basic. She was only 24! Barely been drinking herself.

Recent find and I love it

Sunday, 1/28/2024 - Went to try Historic Star Lounge (inside the Hyatt Hotel, 3rd floor). Address is 2719 K St, Sacramento, CA 95816 (Midtown). Upon arrival... Pros 1) it's street parking. I didn't see that they had their own parking. But they do have valet parking. I parked across the street at the park. It's free parking Sunday. 2) I walked into The Hyatt abs the lady at the front desk let me know the restaurant was in the 3rd floor. 3) they had a nice warm fire going in the fireplace. There was a couch next to it to relax. 4) took the elevator to the 3rd floor and arrive to the restaurant. 5) the hostess helped us as soon as we walked in. Very nice hostess. The restaurant is on the dark side. Very intimate and very quiet. 6) I saw they had a bar. They also put cute, real candles in the table. 7) restaurant clean. Plates, bowls, cups, utensils were all clean. Water tasted good. No funky or metal taste. 8) foods were great! Mix Green salad is $16. Dressing was good and salad perfect. 16oz Marv's cut Ribeye was $79 with garlic mash potato. Cooked perfectly and tasted great. Kids chicken and fries, and kids pizza was good. Kids loved it. Dessert was good. They provided a bday dessert on the house. So sweet!!! 9) service was excellent!! We had like 3 people keep checking on us to make sure we were serviced and happy. Cons None! Conclusion I really liked this restaurant. It was a little dark inside though. So I used my cell phone light to read the menu and take food photos. But besides this, I liked this restatement, service great, restaurant clean, foods were excellent. I'd go here again.

Atmosphere is amazing and tucked away. Food was better than average but wouldn't call it over the top.

Best drinks I've ever had anywhere period! Staff is super friendly Classic charm

I celebrated my birthday here with 15 guests and it was truly a special experience. We were graciously moved to a private room, adding intimacy to the occasion. Colin, our server, was simply amazing - attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to ensure our night was perfect, keeping our drinks filled and everyone happy. The personal greetings from the general manager and executive chef added a delightful touch to the impeccable service. Highly recommend for any special occasion.

Incredible intimate dining experience. The last prohibition drink was one of the best drinks I've had in Sacramento! The truffle fries and pasta were both so delicious.
