Star Restaurant — Restaurant in Novato

We had breakfast there today. First visit ever. Last visit ever.

I'll review in bullet points: eggs were fried to the point where they were "brown-to-burnt"... who hires a breakfast chef that has no clue how to cook eggs? house potatoes were just... potatoes, with zero spices/flavor, as if they had boiled them, cut them up and dropped them on the plate "sourdough" toast was plain white bread (no jam/jelly/preserves offered) pancakes were tiny (compared to most diners), bland and I had to cut them with my knife (which should tell you about the rubber-like texture) service was forgettable... as in, they forgot everything - forgot to refill coffee, forgot to give us utensils, forgot we existed

I don't want to hate on this place, but when I read the reviews that seem to be glowing, as if this is anything close to Marvin's or even Toast, I had to write this review.

We were able to finish our breakfast (like you'd eat old stale cornflakes when there was no milk available and it was raining), and did not get ill, so that's a plus.

Star restaurant has EXACTLY the right name. Star. As...

Went for dinner with a couple of friends. The potato tornadoes were terrific, but I was a little disappointed in the run-of-the-mill ketchup and mayo served with them. The tangy ranch dressing that was served with the complimentary fresh veggie sticks was a better choice for the spiral-thin-cut, roasted potato. I was hoping for something saucy from Guatemala (like queso maybe?) that would complement the potato and bring in some Latin flare! The roasted pineapple filled with steak slices, roasted chicken, prawns, tomatoes, onions, and peppers was to die for! So good and a huge HUGE portion! Most of the tables in the restaurant were full, but the background music was subtle and the booths provided enough separation that we could easily converse. The wait staff was efficient, professional, and friendly.

My friends ordered the steak and the turkey sandwich, and were pleased with their meals. The lime margaritas were ok, but nothing to write home about.

We felt the burger prices were a...

Very nice place and nicely decorated. You can tell they spent a lot of time creating this space. We went for breakfast on a Monday and were sat quickly and were started off with a very delicious cup of coffee. The servers are mostly Spanish speaking, so try your best with ordering, if not a good point will do the duty. Two of us had breakfast burritos and they were to die for! Absolutely delicious! Would order again 10/10. My spouse had the waffle and loved it as well. I would love to come back to try their handmade tortillas because I would bet they are also amazing! The place just opened so give it time to find its footing but for opening week I see it going well for them! Thanks for an...
