Star Bistro keeps taste buds cosmopolitan with a menu of finely crafted cuisine that fuses European, Mediterranean, and Asian flavors. Like a fine Pangean restaurant, the bill of fare tastefully blends international influences into elegant entrees such as a creamy dish of mushrooms with pappardelle ($15.50) or an herb-crusted rack of lamb plated with angel-hair pie, vegetables, and a red-wine demi-glace ($35.50). Midday fare includes a spinach salad with macadamia nuts, polenta, and balsamic vinaigrette ($9) or a dish of seared tuna, asian noodles, and ponzu ($10.50). In addition to an ever-changing menu of fused eats, Star Bistro’s wine list rounds out meals with selections such as the sparkling Pisani prosecco extra dry ($25 for a bottle) tickling palates with a light, moussey flavor, or the Mackenzie merlot 2008 ($8 for a glass; $24 for a bottle), a smooth, dark vino with notes of dark cherry, chocolate, oak, and fancy.
