"Longtime San Francisco residents will know this place as Harry Denton’s Starlight Room, but in January 2024 the Beacon Grand unveiled a freshly remodeled space with updated cocktail and food menus, now rebranded as Starlite. What hasn’t changed: the gorgeous views of Union Square. Espresso martini fans will want to check out Starlite’s version, which brings a hint of orange flavor with the addition of marmalade; meanwhile, the Cable Car Redux is a sidecar zhuzhed up with five spice and a showy dose of smoke. For food, tuck into hot fried chicken buns served two per order, or a plate of furikake french fries." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
