Starry Eyed Girl

Starry Eyed Girl is a restaurant and wine bar known for mostly French and California wines, cocktails, and a seasonal menu of snacks, shareables, and small plates. Many dishes are made from scratch, including the Rustic French Loaf, with options like Hot Potatoes, Curry Hummus, the Pink Party Egg, and the Beef Bourguignon Meatballs. Desserts include a flourless chocolate cake and an apple crumble.

All ages are welcome, and no reservation or dressy outfit is needed. It runs as a counter-service spot, so guests grab a menu, pick a seat, and order at the bar. The restaurant is in the historic Pennington Building on South Virginia Avenue in downtown Joplin. Trays and to-go items are available for pickup on Tuesday through Saturday, and catering orders are placed by email.
