Have we ever found a five star (*****) place? Yes! The last one was the Normandy Restaurant on the cruise ship Celebrity Summit in April 2003. We had a five star meal at La Grignotiere in Villefranche su Mer, France in October 1999. Our original visit to Huggos in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii was five star, it was four star the second time. There was an Indian restaurant in Capitola, CA that was five star, it moved to Santa Cruz and went down to three star. Lately we rated Sarabeth's in Key West, Florida five star.
