History
Joseph Coleman Jr., a local waiter who strongly believed that Colorado Springs was ready for something new, opened The Blue Star in the summer of 1995. Fine steaks and classical fine dining were already here, but there was very little new, innovative, or cosmopolitan. Local critics decried this new restaurant as trendy and gave it little chance of making it a year. Three years later The Blue Star outgrew its original location in Old Colorado City and moved to its present location south of downtown; and loyal patrons followed. Critics still say we are trendy, but after this long it's the kind of trend we can live with.
