Was wanting prime rib, had tried Edwards a couple times. Meh... made the trip to Starwood. Very happy with the choice. The interior is very nice. Nicer decor than Edwards, and the waiter was much more familiar with the food and what went into it. The prime rib was beautifully trimmed, had just enough fat for taste. The beef was waaaay better than Edwards. Tender and tasty. A pronounced beefy flavor. Seriously happy with the choice to come here. Horseradish sauce on the side of the prime rib. Was mild, but added a nice counterpoint to the richness of the beef. Overall, a great meal. read more

The food is very good. Always fresh and well prepared. The ribs fall off the bone and their homemade BBQ sauce should be bottled. The ranch salad dressing is a homemade creamy buttermilk is a delightful blend of flavors. I would go for just a salad, However, that would be hard to do they have so many great choices. The service is always friendly and excellent. The ambiance is up scale and love the fireplace. I would recommend setting in the bar area at a table because the bartender is brings a super a friendly vibe. I come to New Castle every year and this my first stop. read more

Rude owner. There was a professional waiter that was a treat to hear. Haven't been there for 5 years and won't go back. Steak was tough and wings gummy. read more

Great service food was excellent, just went last week. We hadn't been there in years but we will definitely be going back soon

Just had a delicious Hot Roast Beef Sandwich with gravy and fries.... delicious. Staff and owner always friendly

Pay no attention to negative reviews about this restaurant. Been going here since 1996 after moving to Slippery Rock from another state. If you want the most delicious BBQ Wings or ribs come to Starwood! Their homemade bleu cheese is INSANE, their BBQ sauce unsurpassed! Their ribs have a perfect pull and chew and are delicious! Their steaks esp prime rib absolutely mouth watering! Service is always stellar, the food here is superb. Fun to sit in the bar area where hubs and I prefer. Its bright and lively and we really enjoy it. I am a cook and a die hard foody...I know good food, I worked in the restaurant business 25 years and I highly recommend Starwood. Steer clear of Fat Jimmy's. I got such attitude from a lowly cook who refused to divide up a dozen wings with a few different sauces so we could sample them. In front of my hubs and I he said to the waitress charge her for the different wings if she wants different sauces! He was so rude and I told him to stick his wings up his ass then we left!! When I tried to call the owner I never could get a hold of her and she never returned my calls. That was 2 yrs ago and we never went back. We were there a couple times and weren't impressed. Take my advice, The Starwood is a bright spot of New Castle without having to venture into the heart of the town. It's a great restaurant! read more

We stopped in for hot wings. I hadn't eaten here in years. The wings were delicious and the service was fast. We tried four flavors and they were all great. read more

Food was very average. Service was ok, drinks were not good, took a long time to get the food out, was not very impressed

We stopped here at the suggestion of someone at the local post office. We went into the bar area which was very nice, beautiful bar, and even had a cozy fireplace. I got a cappuccino, which was delish and thick with lots of flavor. For lunch I had the rack of ribs which came with 2 sides and soup. The soup I had which wad very tasty was portabella mushroom. I got redskin mashed potatoes and steamed Brussel sprouts, both equally delicious! The ribs were phenomenal, the BBQ sauce was awesome (she even gave me extra) and they were so tender they just fell off the bone. My fiance had the steakhouse burger, which consisted of a burger with bacon, grilled onions, grilled peppers, and lt. Needless to say I recommend eating here. Price wasn't bad for the amount we got! read more

Thank goodness we had a gift card because I certainly wouldn't want to pay for the meals we received for take out! We weren't sure exactly what type of food was available and there is not a true menu available on line so we ordered pasta...cavatini and meatballs. Salad consisted of lettuce & two cherry tomatoes! The main dish was overdone pasta and two meatballs, the meatballs were big and okay... no cheese, no bread or rolls! I ate the meatballs and "salad " and the pasta was thrown away! I guess I should have ask if they had a specialty... read more

Darn, I'm really trying to like this place. The servers are always pleasant, we are well attended, food served at a nice pace, but....why is it so hard to get food that is hot? Our last three visits have been the same. I think tonight is the last straw. I give up. I've tried, given them the benefit of the doubt, but once again my BBQ platter, while tasting good, is just warm; just warm. The menu is diverse and tempting. But. . . . well, you know. read more

Unexpected find-turned out to be much better than I anticipated! Was in town for the weekend for an event, and this seemed to be the only option in town for a quick meal. Came with a friend and sat at the bar. Service was a little slow, but the bartender was very nice and fun to chat with, even if our drinks were coming a little slow. Had the lobster bisque to start, and it was quite delicious! My only complaint was that there were few to no chunks of lobster in it, but it had a nice lobster flavor, and the warm bread that they brought out with it was great. For my meal I got the 1/2 rack of ribs, on the recommendation of the bartender, and so glad that I did! The ribs were done very well, coming right off the bone, and had a great sauce on them. The mashed potatoes that came with them were a little bland, but still not bad. My friend got the 10 ounce sirloin and said that it wasn't seasoned very well, but I didn't have any so can't comment on that. Found out as we were leaving that there is a whole downstairs area with shuffleboard and pool tables-wish we had time to go hang out there, as it sounded fun! read more

Awesome Beer selection, service is very kind and the food ..... OMG the best wings and burgers we had in a long time!

Came in last night Friday in a party of six and we are not impressed at all. Very slow service on drinks and food. Ate in bar and it was not crowded at all and several rounds of cocktails were slow as molasses no lie. Wife had portobello soup and came out cold. She asked for it to be heated and STILL came back cold. Her All American burger had at least one feature missing from the menu description. I had a small cup of chili and was charged 5 bucks which was not the price on the menu. And lastly my cod jumbo sammie was very large until you dug through the twisty roll and the very heavy fish breading and found the small piece of cod inside. I guess if you get the customers inebriated enough they will not notice but I did. My fries were cold too. Maybe they were hot once but the server was not getting food to the table in a timely manner. There are pretty good reasons to avoid this place and on a final note the pumpkin pie was a soggy loose poor excuse for dessert no matter how much caramel it was drizzled with. NOT A FAN!!! read more

went to the restaurant for the first time in a while yesterday was surprised at the cost of the menu but okay if the food is good well my girlfriend ordered her sandwich and asked for no cheese and was told the couldn't be taken off therefore not fresh how can something be not fresh and still be expensive? Food was okay but for the price, I would like fresh food made just for me not made for whoever read more

I had a great surf and turf there once. Then I had some wings there that made me sick. They were burnt and the sauce was discusting. So one good meal and then one not good they get 3 stars for starwood. read more

The food here was bland and tasteless. It was mediocre at best. Service was nothing special. Waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be here and refilled my drink with the wrong thing. The experience wasn't terrible but I don't think I'll be returning any time soon. read more

Ouch, our visit to Starwood was painful to say the least. Upon our arrival the restaurant was pretty dead with only four table other than our own. Our server was a very nice young girl who was very attentive and checked in with us often (kind of too often but it's better than the alternative). We ordered two kids meals, the salmon special of the evening and a steak dish (the type doesn't matter). Our order took 45 minutes to get to our table. My guest said her salmon was good. My medium rare steak was well done. At that point it had taken so long I ate as much of it as I could tolerate and was sssoooo thankful I had had a salad with my dinner. When we received the bill (after having to have the manager find our MIA server) it was the wrong one and this took 13 minutes to rectify. Ouch! read more

So tonight was the first time here! We went with a big party of family for a birthday! Firstly let me say the waitress was awesome! She definitely was given an a good tip! The food was very good! Salmon was phenomenal and good steak! When we went we were the only ones in the restaurant. The kids of the party were close to our table however was walking around seeing family he hasn't seen for a while and talking. He wasn't sitting but definitely wasn't being crazy by any means. I would never let me kids act insane in public. I was having a great time enjoying my food and family when the owner decided to yell at a 6 year old and a toddler who isn't even 2 yet. Now let me tell you my kids behave in public or I would have corrected but apparently the owner felt he was responsible to correct my child when there was no one else there in the restaurant and we were not being disruptive. He was so out of line. If it wasn't for his actions I would have definitely been back however now I will probably never come again which is disappointing because I truly enjoyed everything until the owner decided to act like that and now I feel like I can not support a business like that. So if you are looking for a family friendly restaurant I probably would avoid. read more

Will never go back was some people there but waited at the bar for a drink over 30 minutes & bartenders never even came & asked if I needed anything even when I was hold money out trying to get their attention read more

The burgers were amazing. The local crowd at the bar were very friendly, the bartender was cheerful and armed with good drinks. I'm up here once a year for Pennsic and intend to make it a tradition to leave camp for a meal and a beer here each year. read more

Arrived for late lunch. Quickly sat and offered all the Dalilys. Stew was great and fish and chips piping hot and more than enough for two. I will come back next time I am in the area. read more

I have eaten there many of times, and never had a bad experience once. Their fish sandwich is killer and is massive. We always sit in the bar since it isn't too crowded and the staff in that section are always amazing. read more

Food was amazing & Betsy the bartender made the experience above and beyond! Definitely will be back!! P.S. get the filet

I had a welcoming evening at Starwoods the evening of Dec 11, The restaurant had their typical Tuesday night trivia contest where the questions and answers seemed to be prepared and socialized prior to the event, much to the knowledge of everyone There were two young adults there trying to compete with a sparkling persona which sadly is the best the city of New Castle has to offer. The rest of the evening proved to be more than enlightening as it proved NOT having my dog in tow headed me into a new angle of categorization. As I've seen how things stack up and it makes sense how to place your enemies from your friends as far as proximity. It seems moving back to New Castle certainly closed the gap between me and all my cousins. I wonder if they are in some ways interchangeable as they both seem to have competing agendas but honor me in various situations. IN combination, they've proved how effectively than can manipulate and connive with the best of them, whether at Starwoods, Edwards or church. Playing against one another openly they unknowingly collaborate to make things quite confusing. They even confuse their dogs as it's hard for he dogs to know who wears the pants in the family. But this is a review on Starwoods and the sad thing is that I had been sent a special gift from some source that if I had stayed for desert I could have proudly presented it to the owner which is where it needed to end after starting there. I plan to have desert there in the future and hope that I have the privilege to experience the same eruption in the face of boot licking to make sure I leave a shine on my gifts to everyone involved, But these gifts although strong will never overpower the aroma of New Castle staples and Sunday afternoon fight where the dukes are flying high above any real American cuisine. I did enjoy the Sirloin steak but found it quite un-impressive as I was offered even A-1 or wirshisteire or Heinz 57, although only 57 has to stoop to appearing like tomato sauce. So the beef at Starwoods is more about quantity than quantity and if you wan an actual review and great slices I would steer you to Fat Jimmy's on New Butler Road. I was told it caters to my kind of people and didn't know what that meant. So go there at least once to set your sites high and then adjust them as you try other restaurants and conspiracies to get your business dollars elsewhere. But be cautious, you will see pandering and desperation just about anywhere in the city as those who rule with their iron fist lose track of their own and fail to recognize that even a nationality can separate unto itself as butter from milk. Now that's not white, that's fact. So as Christmas nears I'm looking to score more and more points with those who would prefer to talk and enjoy than make every effort to please me. I am never at a loss of words or options but I do find being too much on the attentive side makes me ignore being attentive to others. Recognizing I do have my standards around age and gender, I do hope to find as many strays like my dog as I can find, although she is a purebread and aspires to always look good and wear as little clothing as possible, although she does put up with my attempts to dress her up in one costume or another to make her fit into MY world, unless I prefer hers. As New Castle is so limited I hope all can be patient while I reconfigure my expectations and standards or weights and measures. But being a potential partner who is more a pursuer than the pursued will make things much easier as far as identifying those interested vs. those just looking for a handout. Although I am not necessarily adverse to the play and pay concept but it does remind me of Hillary who would turn any house-frau into a princess. read more

You have to be rich to eat here. The food was horrible too. I hate the fact that they automatically add the tip in the bill. I should get to choose depending on the service. It cost over $50 for two of us to have some wings, pop and onion rings. I will never go back. read more

Love this place never a bad meal. Price is fair. Great people. Been going here for years.
