We went there for my husband’s birthday brunch and it was a great experience. The hotel & restaurant are high class and beautifully maintained. The views from the restaurant are gorgeous.
The servers are welcoming & attentive. The food options were plenty & there is a buffet as well for brunch. The cherry on the cake is a cute birthday gesture, which put a smile on our faces.
We will definitely be back to this restaurant and will try the others in this hotel as well.
P.S. make sure to reserve as it gets super busy in the summer.

The overall impression Stars gives is of a high-end dining experience seasoned with a relaxed feel. The presentation of all the food was terrific. The service was quite good. My only quibble is the observation my wife made, which is that the wait staff were dressed like policemen. The ambience was first rate. We look forward to returning

The food was amazing! I had the tagliatelle and the scallops and my husband had the buratta and the lamb. Sarah was so lovely and made us all feel so special. They gave all 9 of us a little private room. The ambiance is a little stiff even for a super upscale restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was amazing (literally all of it, not just one dish) and it was fairly priced. The ambiance was so picturesque. I would definitely recommend trying to get a window seat. Our waiter was just the most knowledgeable and sweet guy. We had a great time celebrating a birthday and will be coming back in the future.

I had booked with Chatham Bars Inn because of the history, location, and ambience – but left far more impressed than I had expected!
We were celebrating my proposal, and from the service, to the food, along with the atmosphere – it made it all come together and made our romantic night even more memorable. We cannot thank you enough to the staff at the Veranda, and along with Stars – we will be back yearly!

Stars was a very frustrating experience. The expectations were so high and the food was not very good at all. The fish was overcooked and dry and the scallops were dry and overcooked as well. The risotto was overpowered with the taste of fennel. Service was wonderful but the chefs disappointed.
The menu was confusing and hard to fully understand. They have lost the understanding of who they are and who they are serving.

Definitely do not order the breakfast app of 62 degree egg and braised pork belly.
It’s not a 62 degree egg (it’s just poached…. Poorly) and pork belly (brick on the top left of the plate) might have been braised sometime in its life, but not recently. Definitely reheated.
Rest of the food was pretty ok! Nothing boundary pushing.

Went with low expectations, based on prior reviews, and those expectations were
met. Started with the hostess offering is the worst table in the house, despite a request for a window table when the reservation was made. When I asked about an open table by the window she replied that table is for 4, as was the table she was trying to seat us at. I pointed that out, and became more insistent,
and she quickly relented and sat us by the window. It was odd, in two calls related to the reservation they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. We responded we were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. They never acknowledged this in any way during our dining experience.
The food was OK but for a $350 check for 2, including one of their least expensive bottles of wine and tip, one expects more. consistent with other reviews, portions were
minuscule.
Our white wine was served warm and we had to wait for it to chill in the ice bucket. I started with the yellowfin tuna and my wife had the tomato tartare. Both were good albeit small. I had the halibut and my 4-6 oz portion was a tad dry and overcooked. My wife had the Weygu. That was better. Both of our sides were cold. We passed on dessert. Food definitely not consistent with the price point.
Service, besides the hostess, was good Our waiter Alex was professional, attentive and informative. The room and atmosphere was nice and tastefully appointed.
All in all a disappointment especially given the expense. Stars and CBI have a lot of work to do to align the food with their aspirations and this price point.’

My husband and I checked into CBI for a little staycation as we’re only a few hours away from our Connecticut hometown. We planned to make this a summer tradition but after our dinner last night at stars, we’re not so sure. When we walked in, we saw a nearly empty dining room yet we were sat in the second row away from the window. We asked the hostess kindly and politely if we could be directly by the window as we had sat there earlier for breakfast and so enjoyed being closer to the beautiful view. She immediately told us that all front row tables were “spoken for.” I found that rather odd as we weren’t given a table option when making our reservation. However, we sat down with a smile and let it go. Several minutes later, other parties of 2 came in after us and were put in the front, blocking our view. Over 45 minutes later, a family of 3 came in and threw an absolute fit about being sat in the corner. A small back and forth tantrum and they were seated directly in the front at the table I had wanted. Not only did the staff reward them for their vulgar display but made it clear to me that if you’re rude and entitled, you get your way at Stars. The exact hostess who told us those tables were taken was the one that sat this family at their new spot. While it wasn’t initially a big deal to me, it left a bad taste in my mouth. We were hotel guests. We were dressed up and we were gracious when told no. We also were at the establishment twice in the same day. On top of this, my lobster bisque was horrid. It was poured from a tiny bowl into a giant one, making it nearly impossible to eat. Texture and taste were entirely off. They also forgot my husband’s second drink and brought it out AFTER dessert. The only positive was my blackberry pavlova. An apology for the dishonesty would just be appreciated.

We came to this restaurant expecting a 5-star experience, but unfortunately, it fell short on several fronts both in service and overall value.
To begin with, we had requested a window seat in advance, but were seated in the farthest back corner. It set the tone for what turned into a frustrating night of small but steady service issues. My brother ordered a gin and tonic but was brought a gin martini instead. Both of my parents ordered iced teas, but only one arrived; we had to ask for the second. Our waiter also forgot to take my brother’s entrée order entirely, and he had to call him back to place it.
In one particularly awkward moment, the waiter accidentally kicked my brother’s girlfriend’s phone out of her purse. He did acknowledge it but only by pointing it out, leaving her to pick it up herself. Throughout the evening, he apologized multiple times for being busy and thanked us for our patience. While we understand service can get hectic, we weren’t expecting this level of disorganization from a restaurant with such high-end aspirations.
As for the food, it wasn’t bad, but it also didn’t live up to the price point or the restaurant’s reputation. We ordered the bread service, which was cleared before we’d finished eating it. The lobster bisque, which we shared, was fine—but for the cost, it lacked depth and wow factor. Three of us ordered the halibut and all felt we’ve had better elsewhere. The wagyu dish was the standout of the night, and the desserts were genuinely excellent.
All in all, this felt like a place coasting on its name rather than delivering a true 5-star experience. We left full, but underwhelmed.
