Historic Star Lounge

We visited Star Lounge for a Valentine celebration. Our reserved table gave us a view of the whole restaurant and bar; we particularly liked the real candlelight on the large table and sideboards. The charcuterie board was exquisite. Everything tasted amazing. There were plenty of toasted rounds for the cheeses and meats. He ordered the bavette, substituting asparagus for the creamed spinach. It was so beautifully cooked. He said it was the best steak plate he'd ever had, as a whole. I opted for the mussels frites and bread service for my main. The mussels were delicious and the broth perfect. The frites were the perfect size, texture and seasoning. The focaccia bread was unbelievably good! A star bake if ever I've eaten one.Two flat notes were the French 75 tasted flat, like the sparkling wine was from the night before. We returned it and opted for a bottle of sparkling wine. The second was the paprika butter compound with the bread service had no salt, and there was none on the table. It was a strong flavor but needed the salty punch to make it jive with the bread.On the whole we really enjoyed our evening there and hope to return before too long!

My best friend and I visited the Historic Star Lounge (located inside of the Hyatt House hotel) in Sacramento, CA on Friday, 1/31/25, around 8 PM. I discovered this place from attending the Yelp Event (Sacramento Sips) back in October 2024. As far as the specialty cocktail, I decided to get the Pom Reader. It had reposado tequila, Brucato amaro, pomegranate, lime, and cranberry spice. My best friend got the Krakow Salt Mine (vodka, apple cider, lemon, and sea salt). We both thought that our drinks were delightful and enjoyable to consume. The indoor ambiance was classical and gorgeous. I loved the dim lighting and candles throughout the entire place. The vibe was everything. The service was a miss during the visit, unfortunately. No one was available at the front entrance/host desk and we were never greeted either. We decided to proceed to the bar. Upon approaching the bar, the bartenders requested for us to move out of the way, as the area we were standing was reserved for serving drinks. We had to scout for another area at the bar. The staff members did not strive to make any proper accommodations for seating. It was a challenging situation. Overall, the Historic Star Lounge makes great cocktail drinks. However, customer service needs to be improved.

Amazing happy hour drink specials!! I ordered the fig Old Fashioned which was definitely a smooth cocktail. I also had the seasonal Pom margarita another flavorful cocktail. Both drinks paired nicely with the olives and smoked nuts that we ordered. Finally we had the burgers and fries which were scrumptious as they were topped with a smoked white cheddar. Atmosphere of this lounge is sexy, dark and fabulously romantic. Candles and chandeliers adorn the lounge along with luxurious dark velvet chairs and couches. Even the music they were playing which included top 40 and old school r&b added to the relaxing vibe. Definitely a great spot for a chill romantic fun evening-

While this place had a sexy and historical vibe to it and the ambience was nice service was a miss unfortunately. We stood at the hostess stand for 10 minutes without help before finding our way to the bar where we were shoo'ed away without being given any alternative seating. However once we found a spot at the bar the drink were balanced and incredible and all the food smelled incredible. Many of the people around me couldn't stop telling me how great the bar bites were. So despite the busy crowd being mismanaged the drinks and ambience were beautiful. I'd say 7/10, a little improvement to be made.

I stopped by this lounge based on a recommendation from another establishment and it was a great suggestion. The hotel as well as the lounge have a very classy and inviting decor. I was able to grab a seat at the bar and the bartenders were super attentive and helpful. I ordered a mocktail and dessert and both were good. The lounge was starting to get a bit busy so I cut my visit short. I loved the classic, cozy, yet upscale feel of this establishment and will be sure to visit again the next time I'm in Sacramento.

Fantastic food and service! I've been here many times and they do not disappoint. I love their appetizers, and their food. You simply can't go wrong with what you order, they make everything absolutely delicious. Their drinks are always great, and I enjoy them even more in this dark, cozy, vibe type of restaurant.This lounge always gives me the warm and relaxing feeling, even when at the bar. And if you can get off work early and enjoy their Happy Hour (M-F, 3-6p) please do!

This place is magic (period).I've been there more than a handful of times with various friends and family and everyone has enjoyed it there.The food and drinks have been great. The ambiance is 10/10. The music is always a vibe (usually early 2000s mix). It's just a classy -- meets sexy spot!

Came for the Dine Downtown experience and it was amazing! Our server Julian was super kind and attentive! He made our night! The food was delicious! The mussel frites were the highlight of the dishes! The braised short rib was surprisingly heavy for the portion! Can't wait to visit again!

Dreamy and classy. This place is...wow...just wow. It is so unexpected...walk up the stairs and BAM it's spectacular! It has a "secret" vibe to it but it's not at all hidden. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Fun cocktails! Great beautiful lively hip atmosphere. I have been there when it has been crowded ~ so be flexible on not getting a table. Definitely a Sacramento treasure,Recommend 100%!

An amazing place for date night with your partner or friends. They have a great menu for cocktails and small bites. The ambiance is high end and has a classy vibe. The bartender was very nice and helpful. Definitely will be back for drinks!
