"A perfect evening of great food and outstanding service in an extraordinary setting. Chatham Bars has truly kicked it up. A great concept, with steaks carved to your specification table side. A warm welcome and the most professional service from Dean, who anticipated our every need. Food cooked simply and perfectly and presented beautifully. Go before sunset to enjoy the spectacular view."

"Excellent service, presentation and innovative food. Nice touches with the amuse of a portion of very tasty spicy soup and an intensely flavored little fruit stick before the desert."

"The food was amazing. The presentation alone was worth the cost! The service was great except for a little delay in the kitchen for our entrees, which didn't bother us because we were in no rush and wanted a leisurely dinner. It is definitely a high end restaurant. The menu is a bit pricey, but we thought it was totally worth it. We had a wonderful evening and talked about how great the food was the entire weekend!"

"Our entire night was absolutely perfect! The food was incredible and a true experience. My husband selected his steak from a cart rolled over to the table to pick his cut and size. I ordered the fresh swordfish, and it was the best I have ever had! Our server Orlando made us feel like family that has been coming for years, even though it was our first time there. We enjoyed a late dinner, so it was dark but the view of the ocean would have been incredible. I cannot say enough about our dinner, and look forward to coming back!"

"Great experience. Unusual for the lower cape. The service was fantastic. The server was very formal but yet playful and able to joke with us, without the service suffering. I worked at CBI 20+ years ago. A lot has changed but not the main dining room. It seems dated to me and in need of some new touches."

"A really nice steakhouse in a beautiful location. The dry aged steak is amazing. The crabcake was also a delicious starter with good amount of crab and flavoring that enhanced the crab flavor, didn't overpower it. The restaurant is nice without being overly stuffy and the prices are in line with a really nice steakhouse. The wine list was nice with options at different price points. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Overall a really nice place for a special dinner."

"My boyfriend and I were extremely disappointed in the Stars Restaurant. We attempted to order 4 bottles of wine and the restaurant did not have any of them! Their excuse was that it is early spring and they are working with a skeleton crew! I am very surprised that this restaurant is rated four stars. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and I had to apologize to him!"

"Excellent food. Attentive but not overbearing service. We dined in the off season, so we can't judge how the restaurant fares in-season when it's much busier, but the entire staff was informative and welcoming. A nice touch was the dessert lounge. For some, watching the composition of the dessert plate on video will be fun. We enjoyed more the intimacy of the smaller room, which signifies relaxation at its finest. Be prepared to have the manager stop by to make sure your evening is satisfactory; it's that kind of place."

"Best dining experience my wife and I have ever had. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgable and extremely friendly. As is standard with most of their guests, after dinner we were invited back into the dessert lounge where we were able to relax and enjoy our coffee and dessert. A+."

"Overall this is a great restaurant. My husband found it a little too 'high brow' for him but if you want a really good steak with lots of attention in a pretty location, this is the place for you. We went in winter at night so unfortunately counldn't see the ocean which is right across ths street! We also had breakfast here the next day and that was beautiful.
Be prepared to spend some $$ as you won't get out cheap even if you don't drink much. So as long as you know what you're getting - a great dinner and a romantic, night out - then you're all set."

"Not one of the 4 people at our table who ordered meat, got the size they asked for - it was off as much as 2 ounces. If you want to be known for cutting at table side - then have someone who knows what they are doing and can cut meat within at least an ounce of what is requested - I really feel that it should be within a half ounce!! If I ask for a 15 oz steak and you cut a 17 oz, you should either recut it or charge me for what I ask for! Made us overly concerned if the steak would be cooked properly. The steaks did all come cooked properly and were delicious. The diver scallops were great as well.
The gnocchi side dish were burnt on one side and dry and the $9.00 ceasar salad was good, but hardly any lettuce on the plate."
