Starrs Restaurant

Starr's Restaurant is a chef-owned, farm-to-table fine dining destination in the heart of Waterloo, NY and one of the Finger Lakes' most distinctive settings for weddings and private celebrations. Weddings at Starr's are always a full buyout. Your party, your evening, your kitchen. Exclusive use of the entire restaurant seats up to 100 guests across two floors, giving your celebration the privacy and intimacy it deserves. At the center of it all is The Loft: our signature second-floor event space with approximately 2,000 square feet of warm, elegant atmosphere. Dark blue green walls, hardwood floors, romantic lighting, and long candlelit tables that photograph beautifully and feel even better in person. It's the kind of room that sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. Every event is built around scratch-made cuisine from Chef Starr Andrews, who has spent over a decade cooking in the Finger Lakes. Learning its farms, its seasons, and its flavors from the ground up. Menus are customized to your event and your guests, anchored by locally sourced ingredients and the kind of care that only a chef-owned kitchen can deliver. Choose from three curated food packages — The Hearth, The Harvest, and The Reserve — with optional cocktail hour stations, full beverage packages, and late night snack add-ons to round out your evening. Whether your guests are celebrating with oysters and champagne or ending the night with mini cheeseburgers and truffle fries, we'll make sure they eat extraordinarily well. Co-owners Starr Andrews and Elizabeth Renshaw opened Starr's because they believed the Finger Lakes deserved a table worth lingering at. Elizabeth's roots in this wine region run deep — her family's story is even part of Evan Dawson's celebrated book Summer in a Glass. Your wedding deserves that same sense of place. Starr's is available for full wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and engagement parties. Reach out to begin planning your celebration.
