“I was looking forward to trying Starlight and made the journey there on a Monday, only to find it completely closed. Unfortunately, this was really disappointing, especially after making the effort to visit. Because it wasn’t open, I can’t comment on the food, service or atmosphere. Hopefully it’s open next time I visit, as I’d still like the opportunity to give it a try.”
