Reviews & Ratings for Harry Denton's Starlight Room

Moneyed professionals party high-rise style at the Sir Francis Drake hotel's luxurious lounge.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
From the colossal fresh floral bouquet that faces guests as they enter to the dripping chandeliers and thematic use of velvety red, everything at the Starlight is opulent. Friendly bartenders pour plenty of cosmos and the club's signature Cable Car--a cinnamon-rimmed brandy libation--is a must-try. A well-heeled crowd takes to the sprawling lounge filled with linen-draped cocktail tables and high-backed banquettes for drinks, or to the dance floor for Top-40 tunes spun by a DJ.

Always a great experience

by mikedes at Citysearch

My wife and I always enjoy the Starlight Room when we are in the city. Must make reservations to guarantee a table. Their light affair style menu is excellent, always very well presented. We have never been disappointed with the entertainment and the clientele is excellent. It was a little disappointing that they did not enforce a better dress code as some customers were dressed very casual, jeans and tennis shoes. Menu is a bit pricey but well worth it. Expect to spend about $75 - $100 per person for the evening.

• Pros: Entertainment top notch, view of the city is outstanding, food is great.
• Cons: A bit pricey, dress code was not enforced.

horrible

by ctizz at Citysearch

It took us about 30 minutes to get drinks, they gave us the wrong drinks, and they were expensive and tasted like there could have been maybe a drop of alcohol in it. The bouncers were rude and literally yelled at us!! And the dance floor was overcrowded with sweaty people. Do not go!

Rude Staff

by odette64 at Citysearch

I was there with 6 friends after we just got there and got some drinks, the staff scream at us cuz we are staying on their way to the dance floor. It was pretty full for us to go anywhere else. I think for the money we paid to get in there, talking to us more nicely would have been very apreciated. Other than that the vue is gorgeous. But I will never go back.

• Pros: Vue
• Cons: Expensive

Almost too much fun

by travelindan at Citysearch

After dinner my wife and I stopped in for a drink about 10:00 P.M. while while SF last summer. It was Friday night and the place was full, the band was superb and we had a simply great time!! Somewhere about 3:00 A.M., my wife reminded me that it had been over 24 hours since we had slept. We were having too much fun to leave. This is a great place with great drinks, great views, a classy, dressy crowd, and a great band. We will be there for sure next time we are in SF.

Classy

My girlfriend and are of the middle aged crowd and we loved this place. It was very dim, very romantic. The live band played a mix of fast and slow R&B hits from the 70's and 80's. We haven't found a place like this where we can slow dance. A great place to take your sweetie.

• Pros: Romantic, Live Music, Slow Dances

What a let down!

by garyp at Citysearch

My wife and I visited SF in August. It was one of the best vacations we've ever taken. We decided to end the trip by making reservations, getting decked out, aand visiting the Starlight Room.

What a let down.

The foodwas good, but the service was horrible. It was a special night for us, and we wanted to end the trip on a high note. It didn't happen.

The wait staff, from the hostess at the door, to the waitress, to the bartender.... I felt invisible the whole evening.

We stayed at the Drake.... it was great! Do yourself a favor and skip the Starlight Room.

Great place to stop for a drink...

by banananutbread at Citysearch

Sure, this legendary SF spot can be rather kitchy at times-- but I'd have to say it is a great place to stop for a drink and an even greater place to take tourists-- as there is a great aerial view of the Union Square.
