About Stars

Stars Grill Room and Rooftop is located on Upper King Street, Charleston's new downtown dining and entertainment district. It is housed in a restored historic Arts and Crafts building. Stars features its signature Carolina Cuisine in a stunning 1930's style Grill Room and Walnut Bar. It also has Charleston's only Rooftop Bar with a 360' degree view of the city's historic district and seven historic church Steeples. Chef Joe Dimaio and his Charleston's best all-star culinary team have developed what is now called "Carolina Cuisine" by critics and locals. This regional style of cooking is defined by personal relationships with farmers, fisherman, and many other varied purveyors from the bountiful food sources in the Lowcountry, Upcountry, and Appalachian Mountain Areas of the Carolinas. Another component of "Carolina Cuisine" is the use of live fire wood cooking on a grill and spit as well as flame baking in a Hearth Oven. Also this cuisine requires a flame fired flattop griddle or plancha for certain fish, meats and particularly local vegetables. These relationships and the products they provide as well these three cooking techniques provide the necessary basis for producing a menu now being called "Carolina Cuisine".
