Return of Dinner (and Music) at the Blue Star!

Gary Shigenaka February 1, 2023 Leave a Comment

As the region slowly awakens from its Covid-induced slumber, here’s a bit of welcome news on the local front: the Blue Star Café and Pub is resuming dinner and entertainment! Wallyhood heard from Wendy at the Blue Star and she happily announced that starting this Wednesday (1 February), they will begin everyday hours of 8am-8pm (with happy hour every day from 4-6 pm). Trivia nights return in a few weeks, so stay tuned. The first week’s kickoff includes a live acoustic singer (Tom Melancon), Friday, 3 February, from 5:30pm-8pm. This is a free event. Live music is planned every Friday.

The Blue Star’s story is featured on their website, where you can also find their menu:

Back in 1975, original owner and Seattle native, Leon Torrey, opened his first restaurant, Eggs Cetera in Madison Park. Soon after this, he opened his second Eggs Cetera on Broadway, and eventually opened his third, “The Sweetwater” in old town Redmond. After much success and loyal patronage, Leon purchased The Blue Star Café and Pub in 1997, where he combined the breakfast and lunchtime favorites from the “Eggs Cetera” and “Sweetwater” menus with the classic burgers, entrees, and local beers unique to the Blue Star Café and Pub.

Leon’s daughter, Wendy Morales, came back to the business in 2008, after working 20 years in the corporate world. Now the owner/operator of the Blue Star, she believes that her love for feeding and entertaining others, and deep passion for the family business, meant coming back to it was ‘only a matter of time!’

Against the drum-beat background of chronic labor shortages, inflationary supply costs, and random property crimes that businesses across the neighborhood and the city have had to weather, this feels like a little daylight after a very long night. The Blue Star is located at 4512 Stone Way N.
