But I have to admit that every time I've looked at the menu for their fine dining restaurant, Stars, I was never impressed so we've only eaten there when we hosted Liz's big birthday bash in 2022. That food was great but we just never tried Stars even after that. This week we are staying at one of the Spa Suites at CBI and last night we dined at Stars. The crab cake starter was the best crab cake either of us has ever had and we've done Baltimore many times. There was no filler, beautifully done fresh crab. Outstanding. I ordered the New York strip which was served with pommes purée and a medley of fresh CBI grown vegetables. That steak was better than any I've had at Moo, Grill 23 or Abe and Louis by a lot. Tender, flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Amazing. Liz had the scallops which she also loved, the one I tasted was perfectly seared and sweet. The Mexican Hot Chocolate cake was spectacular and the ice cream was amazing. The best meal I've had all year by far. The wine list is extensive but be careful there were several bottles costing more than $5000. We had a nice bottle of Barolo for around $150. All in on this place.

I'm so torn about rating this restaurant for many reasons. It's an iconic hotel with so much…read morehistory behind it, and a view to live for - the kind of view that is the music in a dream. We're in second summer, it was our anniversary and the hotel lobby, veranda, bar and pub were PACKED. It tells you something... OH THAT VIEW! Soaking in the last sips of summer feels. Walking into Stars and turning towards the windows, you feel all the feels. And with Jose as our steward for the evening - magic. And now the wheels start falling off the bus. Because in a restaurant that thinks highly of itself, with an award-winning wine list, the uniform on many of the servers looked liked they weren't fitted properly, and as picky as that may sound, when you have the prices you charge, every single detail matters. Prices are hair-raising but it is the vibe for the restaurant. The bread service, at $16 was fantastic. The baking team nailed it. The foie gras was so ethereal making a heavy product like the foie light and airy. The staff was LOVELY. Even if some needed better fitting. I ordered the Halibut - receiving an appetizer size piece of fish that was COLD, with beautiful petite veggies. Perfectly seasoned, but cold. My husbands super petite piece of duck? DELISH, but COLD. The temperature was just off. And I am sorry - in a restaurant like this, where IF an A-LISTER walked in the food would be flawless, that thinks highly of itself can't afford to let a single dish go without the love. I can't blame Alex, the super elegant and charming manager - he answers to a higher calling. The owners, the higher level management... cmon. Give the team what they need to make it flawless for EVERYONE that walks in through the door. Everyone is a VIP regardless of their net worth. Cold entrees, not cool. I'm sorry people, but not cool.

Now, they serve breakfast all day. If you're like me, 24 hour/day breakfast is a big sell. I had the 2-meat breakfast burrito which might very well have been THE best burrito I've ever had.

We dined outdoors in the early July evening, and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server struck the perfect balance between friendly/casual and attentive. Spinnaker offers some fun cocktails, and a tight and focused wine list. A Greek salad (different, with a creamy dressing) was a nice, fresh starter. The bolognese was practically life-changing, and also a balm for my pasta soul, coming a few weeks after a very disappointing carbonara. I'd have a hard time ordering anything else on a return visit, though there are so many tempting items on this menu. The short ribs were also a standout here, with a variation from the typical takes. And then there was the bread pudding. Again, practically life-changing. Do not skip this dessert. We do not live anywhere near the Cape, but if we're ever back, I'll certainly make a return visit a priority. Just wow.

Standout dishes were the bolognese and the caramel bread pudding. The chickpea fritters were also excellent, and a special shoutout to the fresh complimentary bread served with olive oil; it was a great way to start. The Caesar salad was good, but nothing particularly memorable. We visited to celebrate my mom's birthday. They added a candle to the dessert we ordered, which was a nice touch, but there wasn't much additional acknowledgment of the occasion. If you're looking for a restaurant that goes above and beyond for special celebrations, this may not be the best choice.

And unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because we tore into the food like rabid animals! We started off with a combo of Toro belly, thinly sliced with a saucy garnish that was just heavenly, and it comes with a side of tuna tartar. More than worth the $22 for the appetizer. The melt in your mouth tuna was divine. And given the season, my fried rock shrimp are back, and those are always a crowd pleaser at the table. A burrata and fried eggplant appetizer with pesto and eggplant purée rounded out our " we wanted to sample appetizers" mood. And in the vein of not bypassing a pasta dish - shells with Jonas crab and corn in a creamy and buttery and decadent Parmesan sauce was our main course. We opted for not going for an entrée because we shared three appetizers and this stupid delicious pasta dish. Service was hilariously professional, caring and didn't miss a beat! Be advised that one quick change is the four dollar charge if you want a sample of wine before you order a glass. A practice not usually seen, however, they've institutionalized it. Just be aware that you need to go and knowing exactly what wine you want. Otherwise you'll wind up returning your glass I suppose but I don't know if they'll charge you for a full glass once you've tried it if you didn't like it. Worth asking. All in Leonessa is almost perfect in every way. Food you want to eat and food you crave long after the meal is done. (don't bypass the crème brûlée.!)
