Description:
William and I went to check out the Blue Star on the recommendation of our colleague, Greg Mizell. It was really very good.

Set in an unassuming part of Colorado Springs (not much of Colorado Springs would be anything else, but this is very unassuming), the interior was surprisingly fashionable.

The staff was very friendly and were honestly engaging. We truly felt they would have been nice to us, even if we weren't paying customers.

I asked for a Smokey Martini, as I couldn't get one in the airport yesterday. They weren't sure what that was, so I told them. They made a very nice one. The used good scotch because of the novelty of being stumped.

My first course was the Baked Brie, black mission fig Wooton chutney and micro greens. This came with a very large chunk of Brie. William can't eat cheese, but it was phenomenal.

My second course was even better. The Tejon Tender. Char grilled, garlic leek mashers, haricot verts, blue cheese wontons and kecap demi glace. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The leek potatoes were also really good. And Blue Cheese wontons .... how can you go wrong?

For dessert I had an amusing event. Their Tequila Sunrise dessert was a tequila lime mousse in fillo dough and a white chocolate topping and a lime coulis. So I get it and it was really good - but weird.

So I asked the waitress what the minty taste was in my dessert. She looked horrified. The new pastry chef had apparently put the wrong coulis on. She must have asked if I was sure it was okay about 50 times.

The funny thing was, it was pretty good that way.
