We were staying at this hotel and had breakfast at this restaurant. The views are absolutely spectacular and we had great service. The cappuccino was great and I had the avocado "croast" to eat, which is essentially avocado toast on a croissant. It was super unique and delicious! The scrambled egg on top was essentially an omelette with boursin cheese in the middle. I loved the croissant and the mix of flavors and textures was great! I felt like the eggs could use a little more seasoning and I would have like a few more of the crispy shallots on the top. But it was a great dish and I would get it again! I look forward to coming back here and trying dinner next time we are on the Cape! read more

Sadly.... as pretty as it is, our meals were not great. Also as a vegetarian for a restaurant who owns a farm, please have some green salad options... pretty please. We had guests from out of town, I suggested they order scallops because that is our thing! The scallops were not edible due to how salty they were. It was as if the cover of a salt shaker fell of and a mound of salt went in. read more

Overall just disappointed with this dining experience. I ordered the cauliflower since im vegan and for $38 I was expecting much more. It was not even a full head of cauliflower and instead just half of a head. They also did not cook it all the way so besides the charred side it tasted raw. My friend got the $74 wagyu steak and she said it was very bland without seasoning. My friends got the espresso martinis which were not on the menu and those were great! I recommend just coming for a drink here to see the pretty view. I will say I had requested to be by the windows and they did honor that which I appreciated. read more

Went with low expectations, based on prior reviews, and those expectations were met. Started with the hostess offering is the worst table in the house, despite a request for a window table when the reservation was made. When I asked about an open table by the window she replied that table is for 4, as was the table she was trying to seat us at. I pointed that out, and became more insistent, and she quickly relented and sat us by the window. It was odd, in two calls related to the reservation they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. We responded we were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. They never acknowledged this in any way during our dining experience. The food was OK but for a $350 check for 2, including one of their least expensive bottles of wine and tip, one expects more. Consistent with other reviews, portions were minuscule. Our white wine was served warm and we had to wait for it to chill in the ice bucket. I started with the yellowfin tuna and my wife had the tomato tartare. Both were good albeit small. I had the halibut and my 4-6 oz portion was a tad dry and overcooked. My wife had the Weygu. That was better. Both of our sides were cold. We passed on dessert. Food definitely not consistent with the price point. Service, besides the hostess, was good Our waiter Alex was professional, attentive and informative. The room and atmosphere was nice and tastefully appointed. All in all a disappointment especially given the expense. Stars and CBI have a lot of work to do to align the food with their aspirations and this price point. read more

The restaurant requires a credit card to book and has a no show/cancellation of $50 per person which they are very firm on. The manager, Thomas, was really aggressive towards me when I told him we would just be dining for dessert, making our whole experience extremely tense and awkward. I am still appalled by his behavior and lack of professionalism. The restaurant is upscale, but if you are dining at night there is no view to see and vibes are stuffy. My one star is for the dessert that was pretty good. Do yourself a favor and go to the sacred cod or veranda restaurant instead where the food and service were great. read more

Ok... we had dinner there TONIGHT 7/3/25. It is our 32nd anniversary. We were so excited, because we've never been before and usually celebrate at the Ocean House in Dennis (which we should have stuck too). My wife ordered lobster and gnocchi. It only came with 4 small pieces of lobster and 8 pieces of gnocchi. THE smallest plate I've ever seen. It looked more like an appetizer. I ordered the salmon..... as I was eating, I had to take out of my mouth a bone. After that, I broke it apart and found 4 more. The chef did not debone it. It was not the most romantic thing to do at such an overpriced restaurant and in front of my wife. But the biggest issue was, it was so over cooked. Dry. My wife and I debated about complaining, but it was our anniversary and didn't want the hassle and decided to just bite the bullet. We paid and left. $135.89 for this meal. Then my wife decided to look up the reviews, which we should have done beforehand. We weren't surprised by all the negative comments. Now the atmosphere is 10 out of 10. But man.... What a disappointment in the culinary area. Hire a new chef!! read more

We had one of the most outstanding dinners ever at the Stars restaurant at the Chatham Bars Inn. Ambiance was elegant and we had window table. Our waiters were Christian and Saddiqui who were not intrusively hovering but always available if we had any questions. They were very helpful in making menu decisions! The food was very unique with a lot of unusual "twists" that made our meal truly sensational. Grilled duck breast surrounded by handmade pasta filled with the tastiest duck confit I ever had. It was surrounded by summer truffles, turnips and an outstanding mushroom sauce. All of the desserts were most unusual and very difficult not to have more than one. Be sure to reserve a window table ! read more

Phenomenal experience at Stars for 10 person family reunion dinner. It exceeded my expectations, which is extremely rare. Seated in a private room with wonderful views. Our server, Sarah, was amazing...competent, funny, great knowledge of wines...we were impressed! Highly recommend! read more

Was it a good dinner? Totally. But was the meal worth the price? Not necessarily. You're definitely paying for the experience and location when you come to STARS. We started with the oysters (delicious, but about $3.25 per oyster) and the burrata appetizer (really great and fresh). I ended up ordering the steak tartare as my main course, which honestly I wasn't in love with. I did try my friends' dry aged steak and lobster risotto though, and both were wonderful. Our waiter was extremely attentive and friendly, and overheard that one of my friends had just become a CPA that week. So when he brought out the desserts, he had "congratulations" written out in syrup! All the desserts were pretty good as well, but nothing really stood out as incredible. Overall, a good, but PRICEY dinner experience! read more

Good first impression. Food. Not so much. But nothing a good bottle of wine could t fix. Steak under cooked & bad cut. The braised short ribs over cooked to point it was tough to cut through using the provided knife!; which in my taste wouldn't require one at all. The room is great. Staff great. Wine list approved. Dinner.. lacking. read more

We had the most amazing dining experience at STARS! Jon D was our server, and he gave us the best recommendations. If the menu hasn't changed, highly recommend the burrata and the scallops. Ali P was amazing and made us feel so welcomed and celebrated as we were celebrating our engagement! The dirty martini was perfect, the foods quality was 10/10, and the service and ambiance was world class. Will absolutely be back! Update! We went back for breakfast and my goodness was the breakfast buffet next level. Nina was our waitress and she was so kind and attentive. I'd say she was our favorite person we encountered the whole weekend! Thank you Stars for phenomenal service! read more

I rarely give negative ratings but this experience was such a let down. Our waiter, Leo, was unbelievably bad at his job. With an 80% empty restaurant, we waited 30 mins for him to take our order and about 40 mins for bread. We finally managed to tackle him to get our order in and that took about another hour. Any time we could make eye contact he seemed genuinely surprised to see us, realized we had placed orders, and would go back into the kitchen for it (or to just disappear again for a while). He also completely forgot to our drink order we placed with him and honestly we were so eager to leave we didn't even get dessert for my birthday dinner. For a high end restaurant with about 6 tables filled, a poorly trained server really lowers the bar for the property. read more

I don't know why nobody claims this business. Maybe it's because it's part of the Chatham Bars Inn, and all the restaurant reviews go there. But I'd like to review it separately, as they have a few dining spots on the property. We had a great dinner at this place. We tried a few dishes: Steamed mussels: 5 star. We had this dish three days in a roll. This is the best mussel I ever had, really succulent and tender. The cook didn't really put much sauce on it which makes the natural taste of the mussel stand out. Baked scallops: 5 star. Very fresh and tender. Not much sauce other than some veggie purée to enhance the flavor. Love. Clam chowder: 4-star. nothing stand out. It got clams in it, pretty creamy soup. Nothing really amazes me. Crab cake: 3-star. This is too salty!!! Service is 5-star. You got nicer view on a first come first serve basis. read more

We've been coming to the Cape for years, but had never been here for dinner - something my wife had always wanted. So this time, for her birthday, I surprised her with dinner at Stars Restaurant. You can't beat the view, the service is top notch, and the food is fantastic. The salad was fresh, interesting greens from their farms. I had the sea bass - fantastic, fresh and perfectly prepared. My wife had the local tuna, also great. Our sons shared the Whole fish for Two, cooked wrapped in seaweed and salt, they really enjoyed it. For dessert they have a wonderful cart with nice selections which we had: pannacotta, chocolate tart, and custard. If you're looking for an elegant dinner, this is your place. read more

We had an amazing dining experience at Stars this past weekend. That's what I would call it rather than a great "dinner". We have several wonderful restaurants in town that continually provide great meals, but this was a step above which is why I call it a dining experience. It was similar to the wonderful gastronomic adventures we've recently enjoyed in both Eastern France and Italy. It all started with Ali greeting us so warmly, Paul being very attentive and Sarah, our server, was just perfect. Ali sat us at a wonderful table by the window so we could enjoy the beautiful, festive lights. We thoroughly enjoyed perfectly crafted cocktails to start: Belvedere Cosmopolitans for myself and my husband, a Tanqueray gin and tonic (unfortunately no "10" is stocked, but the G&T was perfect anyway!), and we were very impressed with the selection of alcohol-removed wines available! Paul was very helpful, checking in several times offering assistance in our choice of wine to accompany our meals. As a Level One Sommelier myself, I appreciated his informative recommendations. I must say though, Sarah was the Star of the night. She was personable, witty, informative, and always right on time with every step. Then there was the food. Wow. The menu was recently created and released and it is one you should not waste any time getting there to enjoy. It was all just so delicious. We had and loved every bite of our meals. For our Starters, it is difficult to say which was the best! We enjoyed every bite of the daily crudo preparation, which was a delicious tuna; the Duck Fat Parker House rolls with duck rillette; as well as some amazing Tagliatelle with white truffles (which was another daily preparation). The chef came out, compliments from Ms. Decker, with a heaping helping of fresh truffles shaved table side, that really just put the pasta over the top. Simply delicious! Frankly, some of the best pasta we have had since Positano. We thoroughly enjoyed each of our Entrees as well. I had the Butter Basted Halibut which was prepared perfectly and dressed in the perfect amount of delectable mushroom consomme. Accompanied by Eastham Turnip and sea vegetables, it was amazing. My husband and our two friends loved the Juniper Spiced Venison which was so tasty and looked beautiful on the plate, but the flavors were the stars. The venison is joined by winter squash, and mushroom over cappelletti pasta. Savory delicious flavor combinations. Then there were the beautiful desserts! We shared and enjoyed both the S'mores plate with Knob Creek Bourbon caramel, Madagascar single domain chocolate & smoked meringue; as well as the Grilled Lemon Pound Cake, with ginger lemon curd, poppy seed meringue, cranberry gastrique and cardamom crumble. Both were delectable! Sorry no photos, didn't think to take them as we just enjoyed the beautiful and festive atmosphere. It really was an all-around wonderful experience. Congratulations on the great team and those 5-stars are well deserved! read more

This restaurant is amazing!! From the minute we walked through the door we were greeted by Armaud and Paul Fox. We were brought to our table and they pulled our chairs out, we felt very welcome. Jon came over and got us started on our drinks and then reviewed the menu options with us. Jon and Paul provided recommendations for wine and food and they were all delicious!! The level of service we received was hands down one of the best experiences I have had. The food was very well presented and tasted amazing. The views from the restaurant are spectacular! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have an amazing dinner and feel pampered. read more

Amazing restaurant with incredible food. I started with the bay scallops, then lobster pasta, and finished with the flourless cake.

Incredible service as well, went above and beyond. Paul and John are the best! read more

An overall good experience. Excellent covid protocol and we enjoyed the spacial distance in the nice dining room. Enjoyed the tuna crudo starter, the catch of the day (fluke) and the strip loin mains. The onion soup is good, different, has tomatoes and the chocolate cake was good. The stuffed clams were just ok-oddly served on a bed of small rocks. The clam chowder was lousy. We've had the chowder several times across the CBI restaurants and realize that the recipe just isn't for us, it's bland and lacks clam and filling. The grapefruit martini and mai tai were excellent. The head waiter and our server were fantastic. But, getting a reservation was difficult as it had to be booked through a concierge which was not a real-time let alone same-day process. read more

Fancier restaurant located at the Chatham Bars Inn, would definitely recommend if you are staying at the resort. The crab dip was out of this world delicious and not to be skipped! I also had the beef entree which included a sirloin as well as a small piece of short rib, which was very good. Service was prompt and staff were friendly! read more

Service was as always very attentive, the location was awesome, corn on the scallops tasted raw....flavors seemed a bit bitter...

Beautiful ambience in a gorgeous historical hotel. Our server was attentive and very nice. The house made bread was excellent, and our server brought us some extra slices for our tomato bisque. The soup was one of the highlights of the meal, we both thoroughly enjoyed it along with the explanation of how the hotel has a farm in Brewster where they grow much of the produce. The Chatham oysters were good, but could have used some acidity. Our server brought me some horseradish and that definitely helped. For entrees I had the rack of wild boar which I requested cooked to medium rare and my wife had an American Wagyu strip. Both were prepared perfectly. At the end of the dinner we were given a complimentary small sweet on a plate adorned with "happy anniversary," in chocolate sauce. All in all the meal was very good and the service was great. read more

Decent. Wait staff was unprofessional, food was good but overpriced. Ambiance was nice but any big party goes in the back away from the view. White wine came out warm, and waiter said "it needs time to chill" absurd. I wouldn't go back or recommend. read more

My fault. I saw the negative reviews and went anyway. Worst fine dining experience we have ever had. Terrible event center meal at fine dining prices. Not even trying. Avoid at all costs read more

This was quite possibly the worst food I have ever eaten. My wife got a beet salad that looked like a child's art project. The waiter asked how the exotic salad was and I just started laughing uncontrollably. I had the cavettelli to start, which was bland and nothing special. For the main course my wife got the Rissotto, which was a mess. It had rehydrated morel mushrooms that were whole on the top, and they stunk. The risotto was overcooked and had no creamy texture. I had the scallops. There were only three and I could not even eat one. The scallops rested on a cold bean purée sauce with smoky bacon that was not crisp. It was the worst dish I have ever eaten. I had the s'mores dessert, hoping I would at least leave somewhat full. The smores supposed to be Smokey, which sounded interesting. The graham crackers tasted like what I imagine wood in a camp fire tasted like. The amount of smoke was insane. I told the waiter I did not like it and it said thats what it suppose to taste like. This place is in a high end, expensive resort and they should be ashamed to serve this food. Please close. read more

My wife and I came out here for our 10yr wedding anniversary and we ate here on our first night and absolutely loved it. Our waitress was very polite, funny and very charming. My wife and I ordered the Oysters to start. The chef prepared them in a very unique way. Then we both had the Scallops for dinner. Then best part was the dessert cart. When dining at the restaurant you see the dessert cart go back and forth to other tables, and the desserts did not disappoint. read more

MEH. Would not return. Morning 1 We got the brunch buffet. Poor table service. No offer of juice (which was included). No refill of water glasses. Did not visit table during breakfast to remove dirty plates. Barely offered coffee refills. Food. The omelette station guy was nice - but had a line behind him & a 4-top burner in front of him, but only made 1 omelette at a time. Not sure I can explain that one. Some of the desserts (specifically pecan sticky rolls) were decidedly not fresh. These were stale and a disappointment. The almond croissant was fresh & delicious by contrast. Husband had eggs benedict from buffet, the English muffin was so soggy that it was inedible. I think this suggests that the poached egg wasn't drained properly. Day 2. [Only reason I returned is I had a credit to use for a meal.] Ordered off menu. Waitress was better than waiter, she did check in with us along the way. Eggs Benedict from menu was good, the English muffin was a little wet - but not like the day before. They let me swap out the potatoes for a side of fruit which was great. They also let me order an Eggs Benedict without Lobster which was good. The woman in the blue suit who I think is the manager of the waitstaff was not so professional. I watched her actually confront an employee and ask "do you have a problem with me? What is your problem? You have had a problem with me all week," It made me uncomfortable for the waiter, and I think that conversation should not happen in front of your customers. I would coach her to have those conversations behind closed doors at a minimum. Espresso was expensive. read more

The manager took our reservation over the phone during which time he ranted on at excessive length about the dress code as if he expected us to turn up dressed like the cast of Les Miserables, then suspiciously 'lost' that same reservation before we arrived. My favorite part was when he claimed they couldn't seat us until nearly 10pm--as we stood there, staring around at the completely empty restaurant. Though he was sure to give us his card to use on our next visit, which will obviously occur right about the time pigs fly to and fro over the summer moon. The point of going to CBI is the view. Save yourself the hassle of this pretentious place and its deeply offensive manager and go sit on the veranda: great food, great people, perfect view. We had a great time! read more

Stars at Chatham Bars Inn is a traditional dining room with nice views at sunset if seated by windows. Covid has had a large impact on the quality of service, timing and overall levels at CBI. We had oysters, muscles, kale salad, chicken, halibut and steak amongst members of our party. For the price food it was a B-. The Halibut was very dry, the muscles while good were over sized and too large for a traditional muscle starter . Our sever was extremely nice but clearly over scheduled for the number of tables, we kept this in mind and patience was need. Less chat from the Manager checking on tables and him lending a hand would have been better served for the staff. Until the service levels are back to normal this would be a pass for the price and food that is rating a B. 28 Atlantic was much better. read more

What can I say...except we just had one of the best dinners we have ever experienced!! We are on our honeymoon and they made sure to go above and beyond to make it a special night for us!! Great food is not always that hard to find and that is not a negative to the chef because our food was awesome but finding fantastic service to go along with amazing food can be a challenge sometimes. Our server was knowledgable, attentive and personable! We couldn't be happier with our stay at the Chatham Bars Inn for our honeymoon and we wish for everyone to experience a time like this as we are! We got 4 more days here and we plan on enjoying every moment of it!! read more

Very poor quality of customer service and concierge. My boyfriend's mom set up a reservation for my birthday. They messed up and schedule us the night before , then try to fix it. When we came in that night , the hostess had an attitude and said we didn't have a reservation and were very rude. We then explained that there was a mix up that was taken care of previously and that we gave our credit card info and told them that it was a birthday and one guest has a severe food allergy. So this situation entails how disorganized this facility is and is considered extremely unacceptable. I have been coming here for years and disgusted by the staff and quality . Would no longer recommend to anyone. Also server was inexperienced and didn't know much about the menu. read more

I've dined at STARS a few times in the past. You come for the view but as a 5 star restaurant you expect to get amazing food as well. The food has always been good but no better than other less pricey restaurants. I've always felt comfortable and at ease in their dining room. Never experienced the rudeness that another reviewer had the misfortune to experience, however I had a similar experience at Twenty-Eight Atlantic, so terrible service can be found anywhere I suppose. I prefer the Sacred Cod at CBI to STARS although it too is a bit on the expensive side for a pub. In any case, the view is beautiful, the steaks were cooked to order, the service received by the waitstaff was good and the check was astronomical! Keep STARS on your list for a special occasion. I'd go back to STARS before going back to Twenty-Eight Atlantic. read more

Had a disappointing, overpriced meal. Was really looking forward to dinner. Location/view was great. Service average. I had two glasses of excellent Pinot Noir; generous pours. Food was excellent, just not enough of it. My wife and I both had the scallops. Five scallops, three, nickel size slices of potatoes and some fennel. All they had to do was add some more potatoes and we would have been happy. Also, we should never have to ask for bread. Dessert OK but too strange. We have stayed at other four star hotels and have always made it a point of eating in the main dining rooms. Have always been impressed until tonight. We will stay at the hotel again but will go out for dinner. So disappointing. read more

We dined at Stars Restaurant on July 7th. The view is beautiful but the ambiance pretentious. The service was attentive to the point of becoming overbearing. Prices are sky high and the portions tiny. My fiancé ordered scallops, which were delicious, but only 3! Where were the rest of them? Is the Atlantic running out of scallops? My Sea Bass was delectable, but the portion so small as to be only a tease. The salad -delicious but so small! Their greens must be more valuable than other recently legalized greens in Massachusetts. But the best - when the dinner began we were asked if we would like "sparkling" or "still" water. To my surprise, "still" doesn't mean tap but non-sparkling spring water - and a $8 price tag! We could've swallowed our pride and lived with tap water. Seemed a bit misleading... read more
