Sunday, 1/28/2024 - Went to try Historic Star Lounge (inside the Hyatt Hotel, 3rd floor). Address is 2719 K St, Sacramento, CA 95816 (Midtown). Upon arrival...

Pros

1. it's street parking. I didn't see that they had their own parking. But they do have valet parking. I parked across the street at the park. It's free parking Sunday.
2. I walked into The Hyatt abs the lady at the front desk let me know the restaurant was in the 3rd floor.
3. they had a nice warm fire going in the fireplace. There was a couch next to it to relax.
4. took the elevator to the 3rd floor and arrive to the restaurant.
5. the hostess helped us as soon as we walked in. Very nice hostess. The restaurant is on the dark side. Very intimate and very quiet.
6. I saw they had a bar. They also put cute, real candles in the table.
7. restaurant clean. Plates, bowls, cups, utensils were all clean. Water tasted good. No funky or metal taste.
8. foods were great! Mix Green salad is $16. Dressing was good and salad perfect. 16oz Marv's cut Ribeye was $79 with garlic mash potato. Cooked perfectly and tasted great. Kids chicken and fries, and kids pizza was good. Kids loved it. Dessert was good. They provided a bday dessert on the house. So sweet!!!
9. service was excellent!! We had like 3 people keep checking on us to make sure we were serviced and happy.

Cons None!

Conclusion I really liked this restaurant. It was a little dark inside though. So I used my cell phone light to read the menu and take food photos. 😆 But besides this, I liked this restatement, service great, restaurant clean, foods were excellent. I'd...

The hotel location, velvet couches and dim lighting got my attention. I have been seeing this place popping up on my IG feed and have to give them a try. We came on a Friday early afternoon for their Happy Hours (3-6pm).

Historic Star Lounge is on the third floor of Hyatt House Sacramento/Midtown. The structure is listed on the Nation Register of Historic Places built by a group of women in 1928. The historic building was transform into an intimate and cozy space. We didn't have any problem finding metered street parking across the street, but I can see this place get busy during dinner and on the weekend.

There are only about 7 food items on the Happy Hour Menu. We got the house wings. It was nicely fried with a tangy flavor. I would skip the Salmon Tartare. It was very good but two tiny pieces for $12! Honestly, it's just bread and a teaspoon of salmon. The side order of truffle fries was very good but not $10 good. Since we didn't see anything we want from HH menu, we ordered the Star Lounge Burger (from dinner menu) on a pretzel bun with all the fixings and aioli sauce. It was delicious! 3.5/5 for the HH food menu because I think they can do better on the portion, price and selection.

The Seasonal Margarita was delicious and heavy handed on the tequila. The specialty cocktails looks interesting and I wouldn't mind coming back to try other cocktails. 5/5 for the drinks/cocktails.

Service was good. I think we arrived here at a good time and got our food and drinks pretty quickly. A great place for date night and...

I so wanted to love this place! It seems so cool! I still like it but..it's so loud for a lounge!!!

I came here with my wife soon after they opened and we had a magical late night cocktail, food, etc. It was beautiful. I loved all the staff and the chef, especially the veg*n friendly options 5/5 ❤️ I kept wanting to come back.

We came back a few months later for a date night, during I guess busy times on a Thursday dinner session at 7pm, and it was SO loud we literally couldn't hear anything. Something about the acoustics in the room may be messed up or something. It ruined the whole date instantly. Maybe we are just old. We left almost immediately. And by 'almost immediately' I mean we asked to leave after we ordered the first thing and then waited the 30 or so mins it took to check us out. I felt like we were a bit rude leaving after ordering one thing without explanation but still.

We have never done this ever before. Maybe we are getting old and grumpy but maybe this place is just too loud. To be determined and your mileage may vary on it. I wouldn't recommend it for a date night any longer if you are in your thirties or older and like your hearing.

Food is great. The appetizers seem really cool and unique.

Drinks are great. Bourbon/whiskey selection is pretty good! I didn't try the mixed drinks but they looked good as well. I can't complain about anything except the noise that I'm still hearing in my ears. Louder than...
