Awesome, swanky in a great San Diego Vibe. Food was excellent, flavors were very robust to remember to make you want to come back. We had some Appetizers, Lamb Chops, Kinilaw, one of my Daughters BF selected the Pigs ears, oddly enough was a hit. The others were great as well, loved the spice/jalapeno in the Kinilaw and the Lamb Chops, if you're an old school rack of Lamb, worth a try. We also ordered drinks, I had an A5 Old Fashioned, great, smooth, and enjoyable. Wife had the manila Midnight :). The Dinner was for her retirement Milestone, very apropos. Then we had the Pork Tomahawk Tocino and the Seabass with Potatoes, Cabbage and Wagyu rice. Pork was very succulent and flavorful, with the Seabass maintaining that moist delicate flavor. With the sides, outstanding. Finished with the Corn ice cream and a Tiramisu like Dessert, knocked it out of the park. The service of the whole team, and you'll know what I mean when you experience this level. By far the whole package, very, very worth it. We've eaten at some places in Del mar, La Jolla, Coronado, great, but, Animae, is a few notches above. That's not a knock on other restaurants, but how the team, will take old plates, replate and new utensils, amongst all the drink refresh and services, set a different benchmark.

Starlite is without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. We’ve been twice this year to celebrate birthdays & both times they exceeded all of our expectations. The food is genuinely good & the service both times has been above & beyond. The servers make genuine recommendations which I personally love. We got several of their sides with our meal & every one was better than the last but the broccoli was an unexpected favorite (per our servers recommendation also). They have the cutest birthday cakes and also both times comped a drink for us as well, which may have just been coincidental but truly shows they go above and beyond. We were sat upstairs tucked in the back by the fountain which was a really cool spot but just a smidge loud with the restaurant noise added as well but overall the experience was a 10/10 and we will definitely be back.
