The ambience is nice. Every jersey pays homage to a local or state school or team. The starters (fried salmon and the boom boom shrimp) were very tasty hits. The Buffalo Chicken Mac-n-Cheese was a salty miss. Unfortunately, the Mac-n-cheese had too much sauce and it completely overpowered the taste of the chicken, macaroni and cheese). My husband had the Pot Roast Melt (tender, flavorful, lots of grilled onions in “meat to onion” ratio. I had the seafood omelette (completely overcooked, dry, hard to swallow without water to wash it down). Be careful when you close you check. We were given the check of another party and had to bring this to the servers attention.

The live band was great however the speakers were too loud. The food wasn’t worth the price. Quality of the food was just ok. The photographer asked us to take pictures with a table full of food and brought back pictures with us with a table full of food and asked if we wanted to purchase the pictures🤦🏾‍♀️. The waitress was great & very attentive.

The food was delicious the music was great. But the restaurant seems to have insect issue. I had two reservations there. One under mine name and one under my husband name for 2 different reservations. And they were on the same day. It was our anniversary. The insect issue is nets! Nets were flying around. It was really irritating. Especially when you are trying to eat. The first visit I thought I was tripping seeing this. The second visit I was not tripping. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who noticed

Redstar always has the vibes! The food is usually good, the drinks are usually good, but the service is always horrible!! The server in this situation was pleasant, but it took forever for ppl to receive food, just for it to be the wrong food in some cases, it took forever for others to order drinks to the point they just said forget it and didn’t order anything at all! Again, the vibes are there, DJ was rocking, but they can never get it together when it comes to service of food and drinks! 🤷🏽‍♀️

All of our drinks taste like Sugar. The kitchen was backed up, however there were tables getting their food who were seated after us... before us. The Server was not very attentive.
