The A Romantic Holiday Wine Pairing Dinner was such a spectacular event. Low key. Luxuriously planed out. Specticaul to behold. The staff is upper class. Everyone is lovely. The 7 cources were each 5 star. Never was my glass empty and i drink fast . If you have a chance to join one of the 3 a year wine pairing events for $100 take the oppertunity to romanticly treat yourself and one other. It pays off in just the first 30 minutes but expect to be there for 3 hours atleast the wine and champagne doesnt end.

Weve been here several times and its been excellent. But this time it wasnt as good. It took forever for the bread, which wasnt as good as usual. The food is great because Kitty cookes it but high priced. We only got 3 scallops in the scallops entree for a high price.They may have been having a hard time due to the hurricane scare because the windows were still boarded up. I will try it again because its usually a fantastic restaurant.

Such a great ambiance in this restaurant. There was a person playing subtle music, the mood lighting was intimate and the food was superb! Everything from the tapanade to the main courses and the wine and cocktails were perfect!

Attractive throwback atmosphere and menu. Service was a callow attempt to be competent. Had I not known about the bourbon list, I wouldn’t have heard anything about it. Also, our server forgot to mention the specials, but was thorough when prompted. Appetizer was not timed well and the runner auctioned our plates, which isn’t good. The shrimp carbonara and the venison osso bucco lacked dimension, any hint of a flavor profile, or seasoning. The small batch bourbon was the best part of the meal.

What a find! Great food and a very good value. Live music most nights. Helpful friendly staff...(we go with my ninety year old dad and they are super accommodating). They have a special deal, where you get a free bottle of wine for every two entrees and four apps ordered; so great for large parties! Theres an amazing coffee scene there too.

I have eaten at the Blue Star on five different occasions in the last eight months . Each time I have had differeent wait staff and I have eaten different meals and taste shared with my partner and friends .Each visit was not only a delicious taste experience, but, also a visual delight. The service was first class with a staff that really wanted me and my guests to relax and enjoy the experience. I have sent friends who have agreed with my feelings of this great restaraunt .

I would give 3 1/2 maybe. Food was ok. Bisque needed flavor, smelled fishy and the lobster was chewy. The filet was certainly not 8oz before cooking. The lobster risotto was small. For my soup & another appetizer, husband had a beer then wine and I had 3 bar drinks, dinners plus dessert... total was over $200. For that price it should be amazing, it was not. The kicker was the next table with their Pomeranian wandering around under the table with the young lady hand feeding it from “grammas plate”. NOT OK at a “fine dining restaurant” and we won’t be back. It’s a shame, Vero Beach doesn’t have many restaurants that aren’t chains.

As I have yet to experience a real dining disappointment in Vero Beach, I was beginning to think of it as the new hot spot for rock-n-roll celebrity chefs to ply their trade. As it turns out, I wasnt that far off the mark in this assumption as the owner/executive chef of Blue Star Brasserie, Chef Kitty Wagner, has had extensive training both here and abroad and owns 4 dining establishments within the area all winning awards of one type or another over the years. The Blue Star Brasserie opened in 2015 and appears to be the final piece to Chef Kittys puzzle as she hasnt opened another place...yet.Soon after being graciously seated, Michelle, our server for the evening approached our table and in an obvious Southern accent introduced herself and stated she was from New York City. I laughed so hard at this I was sure everyone in the restaurant heard me, including those in the back. She just got better from there. She knew the menu over, under, sideways [and] down (free BBDO points if you get the reference there) and was extremely candid on her take of the specials. While she assured me they were all delicious and well prepared, she did inform me that they never change. Hey, when ya do something right, stick with it. With that in mind, I placed an order for three specials, these being the Crispy Sauteed Veal Sweetbreads, the Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras and foregoing the Char-grilled 14 oz. mouthwatering Angus Rib eye on the menu to keep my Cardiologist happy, and an order of Seared Jumbo Diver Scallops.Relaxing in the chill vibe drifting in on the music from the aforementioned master of the keys playing yonder I hardly noticed any passage of time before I saw Michelle bringing forth our order from the kitchen. My eyes and nose were immediately assaulted with beauty and piquant aromas signaling to my palate that work would soon commence. I greedily dug into the order of Crispy Sauteed Veal Sweetbreads and analyzed my first taste of Chef Kittys fare. They were indeed sauteed to a crispy outside while retaining their tender inside and the mustard, brandy, apple cream sauce was not only done properly but was delicious beyond compare. Walk off Home Run!Next to see the inside of my gullet was the order of the Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras. While the flavors of the blue and blackberry chutney were creative and extraordinary, the foie gras itself was found to be overcooked and thus the whole dish was thrown off. The petit arugula salad was fresh, tasty and executed correctly. Fly ball to deep center. 1 Out.After the let down that was the foie gras, I turned my implements of gastronomical destruction toward the final dish up to the plate (pun intended), the Seared Jumbo Diver Scallops. I understand the love for the big scallops. They seem to cost less than the bay scallops and due to their size may be more amenable to a variety of recipes, but I find nothing compares to the tenderness and sweet taste of those tiny bay scallops. Be that as it may, I took a bite of the entree and moved it around my palate discerning the taste. I found the accompanying risotto to be overcooked along with the scallops themselves. Again, the flavor combination of the fresh basil pesto was outstanding as well as the shiitake and tomato flavors of the risotto, it was just that they were not executed properly. Infield fly ball. Youre out!This was my first real dining disappointment in Vero Beach. Given the accolades, awards and success of Chef Kitty, I can only chalk it up to a bad day. Whoever was on the saute pan was either distracted or otherwise in a fog and their timing seemed to be adversely affected as a result. I vow to return, if asked, to allow the kitchen staff a chance at redemption.In the meantime, the Big Boy says, For a cool piano vibe, first-class comedy and awesome Sweetbreads along with some uniquely flavored sauces, come to the Blue Star Brasserie and ask for Michelles section.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Stopped by here last night, with my husband for drinks. Before we had been sitting 5 minutes the bartender Allen completely blew us away. I had a specialty martini and my husband had a Kentucky bourbon beer, all recommended by Allen, and were amazing! I can not say enough about how positive our experience was here!!!

Food is good but not excellent. If you are hungry, dont go there, the food amount is very little and expensive for that size. The rolls were not fresh and looked like they were heated up in the microwave.

A foie gras butchered into a mouse covered in sugar and bruleed and served on zucchini bread is taste terrorism. I also got a nice bite of an uncooked piece of rhubarb in my crumble which was unpleasant. The chef tried too hard and it showed, the atmosphere was nice though and the wine list extensive. The couscous I ate had too many flavors and was just overall disappointing. The wait staff were very friendly and the live piano was nice.
