Stark


Stark restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.4
Be ware when heading to Stark. Its a black hole for signal and there's no WiFi so you will need to book a cab via their landline to get back home. We had the flight of wine which did pair really well with the dishes but its not cheap. Food was delicious and I enjoyed it but like other people have posted, you end up walking out wondering if it was really worth all that money....its an expensive experience only worth a special occasion. Also the tables closest to kitchen has the glare of the overhead lights straight in your face forcing you to sit at an angle. Worth maybe lowering the window to the kitchen or some kind of glare guard.
