I don't know what to say. Stardust was a revelation. We stopped in Lewisburg during our vacation and our daughter, G, decided we should stop here. Always listen to your ten-year-old, guys. When we got here, we weren't expecting to spend a lot of money and this does have pricier things for dinner. Here's the deal: split it. They brought out the half portions to each of us, so we weren't eating from the same plate. And the smaller portions were perfect.
Food.
We started with bread service which was sliced bread with olive oil and a balsamic glaze. Everyone except our six-year-old loved it. It was so great. But I wish we had all saved the bread to have with our entrees. More on that later. Then, our side salads arrived. They were crisp and fresh and the house dressing was flavorful, but not overpowering. I really enjoyed the simple, unassuming salad.
Our entrees arrived next and guys, I was floored. C and I split the salmon linguine special and I can't stop thinking about it. The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY and the skin was super crisp. It was sitting on a bed of mixed vegetables, linguine, and a creamy chimichurri sauce. I will dream about this dish later. It was that good. Nana and Pa split the cod linguine and poets should write about it. The cod was light and delicious. The linguine was swimming in a buerre blanc sauce with lemon and they practically inhaled it. I took my daughters spoon and slurped up the rest of my dad's sauce and I'm not ashamed of that at all. G had the pasta Sicily and she loved it. The sausage, cheese, and sauce made this one of her favorites, ever. E had the tomato bisque and I stole a bite of it and I could have eaten the whole thing.
Finally, we had our desserts. We got a warm chocolate brownie and chocolate cake with butter cream frosting. But the highlight of the evening was the sticky toffee pudding. It was warm, decadent, and the sauce was a dream come true. I can't think of a better ending to this delicious meal.
TL;DR:
While dinner can be a bit pricey, do it anyway. Split some entree and get dessert. Go for the fish or specials and save room for the sticky toffee pudding. You won't be disappointed.
Personal note: I recently went through a personal tragedy and stopped eating for a while. This was the first meal I have had that I actually enjoyed (and ate every bite of) in nearly six weeks. It was that good.
