Eat at Joe's says pretty much everything that needs to be said about the closing of Starlu. Sarah and I had many great meals there, including a birthday dinner, a Valentine's Day meal, and the chef's table. Even though I know (from lurking around the site-which-shall-not-be-named) that there were plenty of doubters and haters, I always thought Starlu was one of the gems of the Durham dining scene. I'm sad to see them closing but definitely looking forward to see what Sam's got planned for the future.
