Proud to have served the Lake Norman area for the past 13 years, Blu Star Grill in Mooresville, NC, continues to set the perfect stage for birthday dinners, anniversary toasts, celebratory meals with friends and midweek date nights that are simply unforgettable.
It’s the little things like fresh seasonal flowers on every table and the intimate detail of how they refer to customers as guests, as well as the bigger things like presenting the most conscientious staff around – a team that’s always happy to hear your thoughts on the latest dinner specials!
“We’re always trying to bring our guests the best of everything!” shares Owner Nelson Bass. “Listening to what they are saying helps us create new entrées for the menu. While we will always remain a family friendly establishment – with our great kids’ meal still only $5.50 – we’re also coming up with new and tasty items to keep things interesting!”
Their fall, winter and holiday menu speaks for itself – with tempting dishes made from only the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
Driving the evolving menu options at Blu Star Grill is Head Chef Fredi Martinez who tops every entrée with a little culinary magic.
Nelson feels especially blessed to bring Chef Fredi’s vast knowledge and expertise to his loyal guests. A seasoned professional in the industry, Chef Fredi introduces recipes from his 18 years of personal culinary experience.
His talents have been instrumental in every recent update of the excellent Blu Star Grill menu. Their most recent additions for fall and winter – as well as the upcoming holidays – feature guest favorites such as all wild-caught fish, fresh (never frozen) grass-fed black Angus burgers and Angus meatloaf, fresh natural “no antibiotic” raised chicken breast, fresh organic salads, Canadian elk and their many in-house guest favorites including delicious fresh soups and mouthwatering desserts.
Nelson shares their newer menu for the cozy fall and winter months will include more dishes featuring halibut, grouper, sea bass, lobster and crab Coquille. Several tasty new sandwiches will also round out the handheld portion of the menu.
For Chef Fredi, learning the intricacies of preparing these amazing dishes is personal. “Steak and fish both demand respect,” he explains. “With steak, it’s the perfect sear that locks in flavor – and I love finishing with butter, garlic and herbs in a cast iron pan. Fish is more delicate, which requires timing and a lighter touch. Whether seared or poached, it’s all about enhancing natural flavor.”
Chef Fredi enjoys the challenge of preparing both steak and fish to perfection. “Both require different techniques, and both bring out the best of land and sea on a plate!”
You’ll find mouthwatering combinations that include blackened salmon with blue crab mix, topped with a lobster cream sauce, and served with Yukon mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. On the steak side of the menu, nothing compares to a five ounce New York steak topped with Asiago lobster cream sauce, accompanied by scalloped potatoes and grilled asparagus.
As a bonus, you’ll always know where your proteins are coming from when you dine at Blu Star Grill – and you’ll know how they were raised! Highly rated on the Gluten Free North Carolina website, the restaurant offers a menu that is 95% gluten free.
