How we score

The editorial take

Starlite Lounge & Banquet Room pairs a straightforward cocktail list with an unusually thorough nonalcoholic selection. The cocktail side includes a sour appletini, a misotini monthly special, and an Ingrid cocktail, plus Category 5 Hurricanes and Margaritas as Thursday specials. Martinis are described by customers as well-balanced, whether classic or creative. Nonalcoholic drinkers get soft drinks, teas, coffee, hot cocoa, milk, lemonade, and virgin versions of cocktails like the Bloody Mary, Straw Daiquiri, and Margarita, mostly at $2.99 to $3.00.

What should I order?
