The Star Cafe

So sorry Star Cafe closed down this last Monday. We are going to miss it.

Delishes food for my first time and closing the doors I give this restaurant a A(+++++++ great atmosphere too

I've been coming here since I was little. I have not been back since they reopened after covid and we tried eating there last night. We got there around 7 and walked into the door and waited, the hostess working the register at the front did not greet us, make eye contact or even acknowledge that we were there. She was busy with what looked like to go orders. I could see that they were slightly busy but nothing too crazy so my friend and i waited for a bit hoping someone would tell us if there was a wait time, or just let us know that they were busy and would be with us in a minute. I guess I was in the waiters way a couple times and he politely asked me to move so I did. The front entrance is pretty tight and there's really no room for more than a few people to stand without blocking the door or in the way of the table by the window. I was expecting the hostess to say something to us, anything really. But instead I guess I was in her way too and she needed to get by me and said "excuse me" and squeezed by. Mind you, I had moved myself as far over as I possibly could and I couldn't exactly go back outside to wait because no one had acknowledged that we were waiting for a seat. After almost 10 minutes of waiting, no one said anything to us and at this point we just feel like we were in their way so we left. It's unfortunate that we didn't get to eat here but we did not feel very welcomed so we had to eat somewhere else.

Fresh baked rolls are so tempting!

We just had our daughter’s birthday lunch here and it was perfect. The staff set up a long table upstairs for us and the kids and adults had the most beautiful lunch! Elias was just wonderful! Super supportive and attentive. Thank you to all the staff at Star Cafe for a perfect day! We recommend this place to ANYYYY party!

This is a must- visit restaurant. It's steeped in the history of downtown Montrose. You think you're in the 1950s or 60s. The food is excellent and the prices are fair. The warm rolls are heavenly!

Always my “go to” Italian restaurant whenever I am in the La Crescenta/Montrose area!!!!
