Has anybody been to Starry Night Restaurant in Richmond near Costco?  They had lots of advertisement in the media claiming to have spent a lot of decor and stuff.  Is the food good?

First time to try out this place.
Didn't see the changing lighting this time, probably too many negative review. Like the ambiance. One thing to criticize is that there's only one washroom stall. For a restaurant like this, shouldn't they have at least 2 or 3? Later found out that there is another washroom stall in the other corner of the restaurant. That's a bit weird.

Instead of the live band, there's a lady singing English song. Beautiful voice. It's not that loud even though I'm in the closest table to the stage. I can still exchange conversation w/ hubby so it's not that bad.

Service is ok la, but I wait for the dessert longest. The main course comes out fast though.

Bread is fresh and hot, serve with olive oil and vinegar.

Seafood bisque has lots of seafood inside, but tastes not that extrodinary.

The tuna salad is not bad.

We ordered two set menu. Set menu comes with soup/salad, main course and dessert. We had the seafood linguine and sable fish as main course. Both are quite good. Like the texture of the linguine.
But how come no drink (coffee/tea) that comes with set menu? It's a bit weird. I would expect set menu from fine dining restaurant to come with drink.

Dessert is just average. The mousse texture is thick. I don't know if they purposely make it that way. It's tastes ok just not I would expect for mousse.

Appetizer:


Main course:






Dessert:










Total comes with $75 incl tip. It's decent but with that price tag, I would have much more choices in other places or downtown I mean. The singing of that lady is nice though.

This is high class Chinese style food. Very good and innovative food.

I don't really like the place as well, we went there for the afternoon tea. The tea sets are around $15-17?! We ordered the $16 one, and it comes with a choice of tea or coffee - the only thing i like was the 2 desserts. Expensive foods, ok services, probably won't go back again.

We went for dinner last week after seeing the review in Chow Time.  We probably won't go back anymore...

1) They have REALLY loud live music, so we can't even HEAR each other when we talk, we talked to the waitress and even she said she has to shout.

2) The food is REALLY REALLY expensive, me and my husband had 2 soup, 2 dish, and it cost us almost $80. The other couple we were with had 2 appertizer and 1 dish shared and they are $70..  

3) The food is NOT THAT good, it's ok food, but not WHOA good food.  I had that DIY sesame pork chop, ok la, I won't pay $30 for it again lor.

4) The decor is weird, they have changing lights, maybe I am getting old, but I really don't appreciate seeing my friend's face go "red purple green blue purple green blue" all night long.... Very mah Q farn.
