I seriously doubted that there was a restaurant in the area that would be able to fit all 14 of the 20somethings that had just spent the weekend at the cabin on the lake, but the bf’s friend assured me that The Last Resort would be more than capable of serving all of us. His only surprise was when we pulled into the parking lot and the sign now proudly stated that they are The Starlite Resort(Restaurant and Lounge). They looked just a smidge more surprised inside when we all walked in together. It was immediately pretty apparent that finding a spot for our motley crew was going to call for a tight squeeze since they were already busy, so the friend and I headed upstairs to scope out the space in the lounge. Seemed to be plentiful, but the tumbleweeds blowing past the karaōke stage(complete with lights and everything, folks) and the John Wayne posters made it obvious that they didn’t plan on seating anyone up there until much later in the day. We approached the gentleman running the place at the time to ask if he had a place he would prefer to seat all of us and though he seemed a bit bothered, he said he would open up the lounge for us momentarily. True to his word, he led us upstairs after just a few minutes of us clogging up his lobby. I know it’s never an easy feat to serve a party of 14, especially when you have no notice and are probably expecting a somewhat light business day, but he made it happen(he did joke that next time we should call to warn him when we’re coming, but with NOCELLSERVICE on freakin’ Lake Cle Elum, that’s more of a joke than originally intended). Service was slow, but generally attentive — we all got what we ordered(with a bit of help from our group directing the orders to the right people), and we all got fed sooner or later, but mostly in a timely manner. Starlite Lounge gets 5 stars for even being able to accommodate us in the first place, 5 stars for the gruff but humorous help, 4 stars for the food(which was not stellar, but it was tasty), 5 stars for offering us breakfast menus even though breakfast technically ended about 10 or 15 minutes before we arrived, and 100 freakin’ stars for going around the tables afterward to figure out separate tabs without us even asking for it. Not even a grumble. Now THAT’S service.
