Stardust

I've wanted to come here for years. The menu speaks to me in hushed, Continental tones, with words like Beef Wellington & Lobster Benedict. The hardest part is deciding between Brunch & Dinner. I went with Lobster Benedict Brunch for my birthday, & was not disappointed. Every component (Lobster Benedict, arugula/pickled red onion salad, potato hash) fit perfectly, not too much, not too little, the tangy, bright hit of salad offsetting the Benedict's rich, creamy, buttery goodness. Oysters on the half shell, fresh from WA? Yes! Loved the punchy Mignonette sauce & the neat assortment, clean, creamy, bright. I wasn't going to get dessert, but after seeing the chocolate mousse with a confetti of pecans, I couldn't help myself. Our compliments to the chef. My husband & I will be back for dinner, for sure. Special shout-out to Joni, our blue-eyed soul server, for taking care of us. Also, honorable mention goes to the velvety decor, mid-century nod to brick, brass, & blue-green aesthetic. It's lush without showing off, an organic gathering place, far from the meat market scene. PS. If you're sensitive to loud diner noises, be aware the acoustics amplify sound.

This is such a cute place! The inside is cute and cozy vibes. My waitress was Brittney and she was super sweet and helpful in offering recommendations. I flew in to Boise for a work trip and hadn’t eaten all day, so I was excited to try the food. I got the Griddled Banana Bread which was the perfect portion and satisfied my sweet tooth, and then got the Traditional Eggs Benedict and ordered the Caesar Salad with chicken to go for later.

If you haven’t been to Stardust yet, you’re missing out! The atmosphere is gorgeous — cozy, stylish, and perfect for any occasion. The food was absolutely mouth watering, that chocolate mousse? Pure heaven. Easily the best dessert I’ve had in ages. Hands down one of my favorites.

We had an amazing experience at The Stardust in downtown Boise! The food was absolutely fantastic, we tried the chicken & waffles, biscuits & gravy, eggs Benedict, and the meatloaf sandwich, and every single dish was spot on. The flavors were fresh, comforting, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the mimosas were excellent, crisp, refreshing, and the perfect complement to brunch. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it’s a great spot whether you’re out with friends, family, or just want to treat yourself to a quality meal. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Boise, definitely one of the best brunch spots in town!

We sat at the bar and Daniel took very good care of us! The drinks were delish and beautiful! I highly recommend the Staghorn for all you bourbon drinkers. My gf had the Keywest Cat House, rum drinkers delight! We both had the seared black cod with, clams, muscles, salmon and shrimp in a saffron broth. ALL OF IT melted in our mouths! Full of flavor in every bite!!!

Let’s start with the high points - Joni P brought her great smile and warming attitude to our table every time she stopped by. Normally I don’t care for this level of contact. Today, it was magical. So was the food. Steak & Eggs - even better than Mitch described, Salmon Benedict - still can taste the tiny piece my wife shared with me, Croque Madame, delicious. And that banana bread - to die for. So, if you want a delicious brunch in a warm and welcoming place - and for the quality and quantity fairly priced - I’d go to Stardust next Sunday.

Been wanting to try this place, finally made it. Love the ambiance and decor. Drinks are fun and very good. The food was very delicious. I had black cod bouillabaisse. Also tried the lobster bisque. Amazing. Next time I'll try their filet, see how it compares to a few other fav steak places. And our server Tyler was cool and fun.

Ian was absolutely stellar and provided superior service! The cuisine was exquisitely prepared and ridiculously delicious. Made for the most amazing date night and WILL be back again. This place is magic!

Food, ambiance and service is outstanding. We usually go for brunch and have never been disappointed. My husband usually gets the oysters and lobster bisque while I get either the Cobb salad or now the avocado toast with an egg. You will not leave hungry. When we can go for dinner it is a treat. Highly recommend.

This was probably the best brunch experience of my life. Beautiful space, very accommodating and friendly staff, and the most deliciously and articulately made food. It was such a treat to be there to celebrate our daughter's milestone there! The four of ordered the following: Chicken & Waffle, Griddled Banana Bread, Croque Madame, Smoked Salmon Benedict, and the Lobster Roll. Everything was delicious, but the overall favorite, hands down, was the Smoked Salmon Benedict (my choice, and I will have it again!). I can't imagine how lovely it would be to have dinner here. It's definitely a good choice for a date night. It's not a huge restaurant, so I think it would be relatively quiet, like it was for us. In other words, you don't have to yell to have a conversation. It's tastefully designed too. I will say the food is a bit pricey, but not over the top for the upscale dining and elevated food. Oh, and I also recommend the Espresso Martini, but I'll probably go back to try the Jungle Bird. :) I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes too....especially their dinner menu!

After being in Australia for a Year it was SOOOOOO NICE to return to a Restaurant that was the same as when I left !!!!! The Mushroom Biscuits and Gravy was TO DIE FOR !!!! If I'd had it before I ordered my Brunch entree I would have ordered it AGAIN !!!

Had a great dinner with a couple friends. Sat inside while still enjoying the fresh air evening air. Dinner was outstanding, Petite Filet was perfect, Lobster Bisque was great as well. Genuine service topped off the experience. Casual fine dining experience.

We went to celebrate a friend's divorce and first of all our servicer was excellent she was a joy and made our experience so much better and fun. The salmon was delicious the appetizers were good the drinks amazing except I wasn't too excited with the one w glitter not my cup of tea. The place was small but very bright we had a great time. It was a bit pricey that me and my friend shared a meal and appetizers and our bill split in too was still over 100$ but it was a nice time with all my girlfriends

We came with friends who have seen this location turn over a few times, so we thought we'd drop in on a Saturday night to see what Stardust had to offer. We made a reservation, but it wasn't really necessary, 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday, and the place was nearly empty. We started at the bar for cocktails. The martinis and bourbon were served in nice glassware, and the bartender was friendly. From there, we moved to the lounge area in the front, drawn in by the cushy chairs and the window view of the street. However, we were quickly warned not to block a door leading to the patio due to fire regulations. Despite being the only guests in the place, about 15 minutes later, a less-than-friendly staff member reprimanded us about our chair placement. I had only slightly turned mine to better face the group, but their approach felt unnecessarily harsh. I moved the chair back, but the interaction left a bad taste. Why is all this furniture placed in a fire exit area anyway?? The interior has a retro vibe, but yet it felt to me a bit cold and stark, lacking the warmth you'd expect at the price point. On to dinner. I had the steak frites, and while the steak was cooked well, the fries were soaked in meat juices and soggy. A simple sidecar or divider on the plate would have solved this issue. My wife had the salmon Wellington, which seemed to fit the theme, this is definitely a "Wellington" kind of place. One friend had the retro-inspired airline chicken, while the other had a chicken pot pie topped with puff pastry instead of the usual crust. He said it was good. Service was solid, and the food was generally good, but the pricing felt high for the overall experience. Most entrees ranged from $40 to $50, with some reaching $75 a plate, and there were few lower-priced options. When you're paying a premium, you expect both quality food and a quality atmosphere, and Stardust doesn't quite hit that balance for me. The nearly empty dining room on a Saturday night might speak for itself? I'll let you decide. I gave 4 Stars this visit, but almost gave a 3 for "OK".

Stardust has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, instantly comfortable and welcoming. The service was absolutely exceptional, and I truly felt like I was surrounded by friends the whole time. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Stardust is a true gem of an establishment located in Downtown Boise, known for its inviting ambience, innovative menu, and an amazing selection of curated cocktails and mocktails. I love everything about it, which is why I keep going back again and again. And again. P.S. The waitstaff is incomparable!​​

Riley was such a great server! She was easy-going and was quick to help. I ordered the lobster and shrimp bisque and it was delicious and such a cute bread too. The lighting and design were such a vibe

Worst experience. The waitress "forgot" to put our order in and after an hour when we brought it up to the manager she accused us of lying. There were 6 tables that had come long after us and left before we even got our food. They were awful about it when we brought it up to them. I've worked in the service industry and they did the opposite of what should have been done. Take accountability and acknowledge it. Don't accuse the customers.

I love the menu and the staff is friendly. I love the downtown location. I wish I could say I loved my food. The chips and dip was where we began. The chips are heavily salted. Heavily salted. Wow. And the dip was tasty but the portion was too small even for the most conservative dipper. I would pass on this next time. The Airplane chicken got our hopes high. But on tasting it we discovered bland chicken. That was quite dry. The potatoes, however, were excellent. Fluffy on the inside and rich with butter. Delicious. The steak fries was very good. The steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were excellent. They weren't the showstopper that the griddle potatoes were but they were excellent. I want to like this place much more than I did. It seems rather hit and miss but with great potential. I might try it again down the road and I hope they can develop some consistency. One day in the future this place could be quite remarkable. But for now it was just good

Would give this place one star because of the host if it wasn't for our amazing server and food. What an incredibly rude individual, tainted the beginning of our experience because of her miscommunication with our dog. To make a long story short, another dog barked at ours and she didn't let ours on the patio. Our dog was NOT aggressive, the other one aggressively barked at ours. This would not have been a problem had she not been extremely rude with communication and disrespectful to our entire party. We understand the rules, but it was the way she handled it, she should not be customer facing. We would have left if it wasn't for our kind server and the manager acknowledging. Again, incredible food and drinks.

The host was more than welcoming and the server was always on it! Food was amazing. I left full and happy! 10/10 recommend

Everything was so good. We ordered bloody Mary's (asked for them to be a little spicy), bacon wrapped dates, deviled eggs and steak and eggs. Tyler was our server and fantastic. Ambiance was cute especially the touches for Christmas.

I've always found Stardust's staff, food, atmosphere and price to be very agreeable and that's why I've come in at least once a month for over two years!

I highly recommend the Croque Madame for brunch. The brioche was chef's kiss and the bechamel sauce was heavenly! Don't forgot to order one of their yummy libations to wash it down. The whole experience was fabulous!

Went here for Mother's Day brunch 2024. It seemed like they were having some challenges with staffing. The food was still amazing, just took a little longer than expected. The owner called me back later in the week based upon the phone # from my reservation. She profusely apologized for the experience and wanted to see if there was anything she could do to have us try again. I found this to be exceptional. We will be back after having this much attention paid to something that was out of their control. Well done Stardust.

We had a blast for brunch. The vibe is great, staff was A+. Drinks smashed it. Spectacular. The bacon wrapped dates and cheese were dope. Lobster Benedict was good. Was it $35 good? No. Lobster and shrimp bisque was meh. I suggest dropping a some sherry into at service. That would rock. Love the vibe. We had a big table next to us of cackling women that made it almost a unbearable. They left and it was back to a perfect brunch environment. We will definitely come again. We don't expect perfection and this brunch slam probably affected food to some degree.

I give The Stardust 5 Stars***** But if I could I'd give them 10 ********* I went Once by Myself once + enjoyed The Best Happy Hour in Boise so much that I invited my Girlfriend to enjoy Drinks + Appetizers Right Away + We immediately started calling it our Place & now go at Least Weekly with Family + Friends for Brunch + Happy Hour.

We've walked by here a bunch of times and decided to check out their happy hour. My wife and I had a fantastic afternoon relaxing with cocktails. They've got tasty cocktails and a decent happy hour menu. The fondue was fantastic! We're excited to come back and check out their brunch.

Neat little restaurant downtown. Been here a couple times. Brunch, happy hour and for appetizers. Shrimp cocktail is great! The popcorn during happy hour is devine. I did order the french toast for brunch and the syrup is overly sweet. It's better without the syrup. The ceaser salad is delicate but was turned off when I found hair in my salad. Unfortunately, finding hair is quite common. We found hair in my friend's salad when we were eating togther. Overall, a good restaurant and I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

Food was cooked perfectly, got the beef Wellington, bacon wrapped dates, surf and turf, steak tartar and charcuterie board. Perfect date night spot. Everything was delicious no complaints and the wait staff were all friendly and attentive but not too much to where it was annoying. Definitely will be going back.

Food was excellent! Very curated food, and very flavorful. Prices are a little high, to be honest. Would return to give it another shot, but it's not the cheapest spot.

The service here was amazing Jaime right from the start attended me very quickly. She gave me a perfect table with an awesome view. Jose my waiter was very informative with what the restaurant has to offer and what he would have. I definitely recommend this place as a chill spot with good food and drinks. And for you people watches while you eat it's a great spot.

The interior was very bright and well furnished with both open outdoor and private seating. The music was an interesting assortment of Fleetwood Mac, The Chainsmokers 2016 hits, and Tumblr Grunge which made me feel at home. The service was great with both the host and waitress being very friendly and helpful. We ordered the banana bread to share, expecting it to be a full piece of bread. When it arrived, however, the portion was extremely small for the price as shown in a photo below. The banana bread was also either raw or extremely gelatinous which was very off putting. For my main course I ordered the southern biscuits and gravy which were good but nothing special and there were no bold flavors that stood out to me. For the grand total of $80 with tip for two people, I was left a bit disappointed. Overall, this is a fine establishment but I am not left with a strong urge to come back.

Food was pricey for what it was. Banana bread was gelatinous and clear inside. Frittata was oily and undercooked. Good service and good drinks (there was minimal orange juice in the mimosa) Interior design was nostalgic of 2016 gentrify tumblr core mixed with mid century modern. Overall decent.

Riley was awesome!!!!! Great food, drinks, and service, super quick and delicious. Some of the best oysters I've ever had

We had such an enjoyable dinner. The service was fantastic. There was a mix up on our dinner and they were very apologetic and comped some of it. The food was delicious. Has steak and truffle fries, chicken pot pie, ceaser salad and spring for the berry cobbler which was incredible. We'll be back!

Stardust Restaurant Review I just had the pleasure of dining at Stardust Restaurant in downtown Boise, and it exceeded all expectations! The star of the show was undoubtedly the Stardust Burger. The Stardust Burger This culinary masterpiece is a must-try for burger enthusiasts! Chef Robby's creation boasts: - Juicy ACME beef - Red onions - Melted Fontina cheese - Crispy bacon Each bite was a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. Chef Robby The culinary genius behind this dish deserves accolades! Chef Robby's attention to detail and passion shine through in every aspect of the burger. Ambiance and Service Stardust's cozy atmosphere and exceptional service made for a memorable dining experience. Overall Rating 5/5 stars Will I Return? Absolutely! Already planning my next visit. Recommendation Don't miss the Stardust Burger! Order it, and experience culinary nirvana! A Big Thank You To Chef Robby and the entire Stardust team for an unforgettable dining experience! PS If I feel like this about a burger.... Can't wait to work myself through the rest of the menu!

Had a great time here! The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I got the beef Wellington and it totally lived up to the hype--so good. Also came back for brunch recently and everything we tried was really fantastic. Great atmosphere, good portions, and just an awesome spot overall. Definitely planning to come back soon!

What an amazing place to eat! Wonderful service from Melissa, a beautiful brunch, and so delicious! Jamie, the owner is so gracious and caring. The outdoor patio was fun and welcoming. Definitely recommend this establishment for a great dining experience.

Stardust is one of our favorite brunch spots in Boise. We went there recently for dinner for the first time and it was just as amazing. We got the bacon wrapped dates and bread service for apps, I got the beef Wellington (must try!) and my husband got the lobster roll. Everything about it was top notch, I loved the horseradish potatoes that the dish was served with. The lobster roll was small but delicious nonetheless. We both got the chocolate mousse for dessert after, it was so delicate and yummy. We would come back here for the beef Wellington and chocolate mousse!

Food was delicious and staff was kind. Plus it's decorated beautifully. We've been back several times. You cannot go wrong with dinner or brunch!

Amazing food and service! We went for the first time and loved everything! The space was wonderfully decorated and welcoming. Our server, Vadim, was excellent and we can't wait to return and try more dishes!

My husband and I went to dinner with a couple friends to Stardust. Here's my honest review and opinion. No, it's not worth the money. We ordered 3 apps. The scallops were good, but not worth $20 for 4 medium sized scallops. The cheese soufflé was ok, but again, expensive for what you get. I didn't try the steak tartar, but the rest of our party did and they left more than half to be taken away. We each ordered a soup or salad. I had the lobster bisque. It had an unnecessary pastry top, the bisque was thin with ok flavor. There was a decent amount of lobster chunks, however, I wish I'd skipped ordering it. The french onion soup was ordered by 2 of our party and they both said it was good not great. The salad ordered by our last party member said it was pretty much a pile of leaves with little to no toppings. For the meals, I ordered surf and turf. My steak was well over done and was sent back. The lobster was ok, no real flavor and the melted butter to dip didn't add much. The asparagus was over cooked and disappointing. The manager came by and apologized for my steak being over done. She agreed that it was well over cooked and said they were taking my meal off the bill. (They actually ended up taking off my husband's meal which was cheaper.) They remade the steak, but by the time it was ready, everybody else was done eating, so we boxed it and brought it home. My husband wasn't impressed with his steak and said it was overseasoned and not a good cut. We ordered 2 desserts as a table, but could've skipped those, too. The cheesecake and key lime tart. Cheesecake was dry and the tart was lacking flavor. Even my shirley temple was not good. The sprite was weak and they didn't put much grenadine in to save it. Overall, I was very disappointed. I've read some good reviews on here and was excited to try it. That being said, I won't be going back. There are several places in the valley that are far better quality for less money. ***That all being said, the owner said she was going to refund my bill (minus tip) for a 'gesture of goodwill'. She ended up taking out the tip twice and refuses to do anything about it. She will lie to try and make herself look good. I originally just made a fb group post about my experience as a heads up to locals, but I will be posting my honest review anywhere I can. I gave several weeks for the owner to make things right and stay true to her word, but clearly, that's not going to happen. I have screenshot of everything. There are FAR better places to spend your money, where the food is top knotch and the service matches. Stardust is NOT worth your time or money.

Fun and funky vibe. Great drinks. Try the Slow Burn . Will definitely come back and try dinner.

Everything I've had on their breakfast menu has been prepared perfectly. Love the atmosphere and vibe, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Beautiful ecléctic vibe! I'd come here just to sit in the chairs and enjoy the atmosphere. Came here on a Sunday funday to meet my sister and her new beau. We had the best server- friendly, had great recommendations and super accommodating. Tip- do the happy hour! We had awesome fondu, oysters and drinks from just that menu. The drinks were yummy- cosmo & Tom Collins. For food we had the steak frites and the beef short ribs with Swiss chard and polenta cakes. Flavor was good, had the best sauce and flavors all melded well. I'd say for $53 please give me a little more though...I mean Swiss chard is my favorite and it only had 5 pieces . Same with the amount of meat and polenta. Otherwise it was super yummy and I'll definitely be back for more happy hours

Went on Easter Sunday without a reservation so we sat at the bar. The bartender was awesome but unfortunately the food was cold.

1950s Hollywood inspired with a modern flare. This spunky cocktail lounge brings mid century into this century, giving classic dishes a new life. The local greens salad was soooo good and the beef wellington was rich. I felt like it was little over priced but still a tasty spot!

The food was amazing! Best brunch I've had in a long time! And Kara made the best espresso martini that I've ever had! Great service and great food!

Fun retro vibes, friendly waitstaff and good service, great osso bucco and cocktails!

My friend and I grabbed some appetizers and salads tonight and loved everything we had. We enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller, Fontina & Gruyère fondue, beet & burrata salad and Caesar salad. Also got some great wine. The service and ambiance were nice, too. Chose to sit near the bar because it's such a pretty area. I want to go back for a martini and the fondue alone! But truly I look forward to trying more items on the menu.

Love this place!! The food is unique and consistently great. The staff is so friendly and fun. I love sitting at the bar and chatting with the owner Jamie and bartender Danny, who have now become friends. Highly recommend!!

Amazing spot in downtown Boise for brunch and/or dinner. We go here almost every week. Fantastic menu and service. LOVE the mimosa bottle special for brunch and their eggs bebe. Swanky ambiance and for sure a MUST SEE if you're in Boise. Stay "dusty"!

Best brunch in Boise! Cool mid century vibe. Service can be a bit inconsistent, but front of house manager mitigates that. Also highly recommend for cocktails!

Stardust has a nice ambiance and serves drinks, as well as, small but, varied portions of gourmet dishes. Make reservations for parties of four or more.

Great service and wonderful salmon Wellington! Had a reservation but was not crowded even on a Friday night. Dessert was a mixed berry crumble shared and was delicious too? Will come again!

We were largely ignored. When we did get the attention of our waitress, we had to remind her of what our drink order was; a coke and orange juice. 45 minutes in, still no food. They were not busy and the reasons are obvious from the terrible service.
